Looking to add a wild-card voice to your kit? The DW Design Series Rata Toms bring a unique voice to any percussion setup, blending focused tone with modern construction. These drums feature a 6\" diameter and single-headed design, making it easy to tune them to specific notes or pitches for melodic playing.

Each drum is outfitted with DW\'s proprietary True-Pitch tuning system and True-Hoops, so players get consistent, smooth tuning and reliable rim performance. The direct-mount TB12 tom bracket connects right to the shell, helping save space and maintain a clean, professional look onstage or in the studio. Rata toms are a go-to for drummers looking to expand their tonal palette with a focused and articulate sound.

5mm Acrylic Shells Provide Crisp Attack and Clear Tone

When you want your tone to hit with glass-cutting precision, this is it. Each tom uses a 5mm-thick acrylic shell, which helps create a fast, clear response. This material gives the drum a sharp, punchy sound that stands out in a mix. Acrylic resists unwanted overtones and keeps the notes tight and controlled. The result: every hit cuts through, making these toms ideal for adding melodic accents or intricate patterns that need to be heard clearly.

DW True-Pitch Tuning System Keeps Drums Dialed In

Tuning should feel dialed—not delicate. DW\'s True-Pitch tuning rods feature extra-fine threads, allowing players to dial in exact pitches across every drum. This system makes it simple to match notes or create intervals between multiple rata toms. Reliable, accurate tuning means less time adjusting and more time playing, giving drummers confidence in their sound for recording or live shows.

DW TB12 Tom Bracket Simplifies Setup and Mounting

If you\'re tight on space but not on ideas, this bracket\'s your best friend. The TB12 tom bracket mounts directly to the acrylic shell, making it easy to secure the rata toms in tight spaces. This bracket design reduces bulk and keeps the drums stable, even during fast passages or complex arrangements. Quick setup and teardown help players focus on their performance, not hardware.

DW Hardware and Shell Design Built to Last

Tour-tested and stage-ready, these drums are built to take a hit. Mini Turret lugs, acrylic shells, and True-Hoops all work together to create a drum that stands up to regular use. The hardware resists wear, and the shell material avoids warping or cracking, even under hard playing. Built for reliability, these drums can handle the demands of touring or regular practice without losing clarity or focus.
