DW Drums Design Series 25x20 inch Pancake Gong Bass Drum

The DW Drums Design Series Pancake Gong Bass Drum redefines compact percussion with its innovative 20" x 2.5" maple construction that delivers the full‐bodied resonance of traditional gong drums in a fraction of the space. Developed in collaboration with Italian drummer Marco Iannetta, this single‐headed drum features a 100% North American maple shell finished in sleek matte black, making it both visually striking and sonically impressive.

Built for versatility and convenience, the Pancake Gong Drum mounts effortlessly via a single TB12 tom bracket and incorporates signature Design Series™ mini lugs for reliable tuning stability. Despite its shallow 2.5‐inch depth, this 20‐inch diameter drum packs considerable punch and integrates seamlessly into even the most space‐conscious drum setups, while maintaining the ability to pack away in seconds when portability is essential.

The drum’s thoughtful engineering allows it to mimic the distinctive sound characteristics of full‐sized gong drums without the bulk, making it an ideal solution for drummers seeking that unique tonal quality in tight performance spaces. Note that the DW SM991 clamp/arm or single‐tom stand is sold separately to complete your mounting setup.
