DW Collector's Series 3 mm Rolled Aluminum Snare Drum 13 x 5.5 in.

The DW Collectors Series rolled aluminum snare drum gives you a bright, cutting tone with thunderous low end. This heavy-duty drum is cast from 3 mm aluminum alloy and fitted with die-cast hoops, providing rock-solid durability for drummers. An integrated reinforcement hoop prevents warping, while a unique wrinkle finish gives it a distinctive look. With a sensitive throw-off and precision tuners, you'll have complete control over the DW Collectors Series' sound and response.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Shell for Power and Projection

The 3 mm aluminum alloy shell produces a loud, cutting tone that projects through the mix. Despite its brightness, this metal shell generates a surprisingly full low end. The heavy-gauge aluminum provides density for a fat, punchy attack and long, even sustain. From soft jazz to hard rock, the DW Collectors Series cuts through.

Reinforced Hoop Maintains Roundness

An integrated aluminum hoop reinforces the shell to prevent warping under heavy playing. This fortification keeps the drum perfectly round, ensuring consistent tone and easy tunability over its lifetime. The 3 mm aluminum is already inherently rigid and combined with the hoop, it's a drum built to withstand the demands of professional drumming.

Precision Components for Total Control

DW included high-end components to help you shape the tone of this innovative snare. The sensitive throw-off lets you tighten or loosen the snare wires with subtle adjustments for your perfect snare response. Low-mass lugs and True-Pitch tuners provide precise tuning for balanced, harmonic tones across the drum. With pro-level gear like this, you'll have no trouble dialing in your ideal snare sound.
