DW Collector's Series 3 mm Copper Snare 14 x 6.5 in.

The DW Collectors Series copper snare drum is a premium snare drum handcrafted for drummers. With a 3 mm thick copper shell and a host of professional features, this snare produces a dark, controlled tone with punchy attack and musical overtones that will inspire your creativity.

Copper Shell Provides Dark, Controlled Tone

At the heart of this snare's sound is its 3 mm thick copper shell. Copper is a dense metal that naturally dampens high overtones, giving you a focused tone with strong midrange projection. The shell's thickness further enhances articulation and sensitivity. You'll achieve a wide range of darker, controlled sounds—from sharp cracks to fat thwacks.

Premium Features for Optimal Playability

DW outfitted this snare with professional features for responsive feel and tuning stability. The MAG throw-off lets you quickly engage or disengage the snares with the flick of a lever. The 5-position butt plate allows incremental snares tension adjustment. DW's True-Pitch 50 tuning lugs keep tension even as you turn the drum. Remo drumheads provide balanced attack and sustain. With these features, you'll achieve your ideal snare sound quickly and keep it consistent through every performance.
