The DW Collectors Series stainless steel snare drum with die-cast hoops is a premium instrument engineered for discerning players. Its rolled stainless steel shell delivers a bright, focused attack and long sustain that cuts through the mix. You can quickly dial in the ideal snare response with the MAG throw-off for precise wire adjustments. The 5-position butt plate allows you to explore a wider tuning range, opening up tonal versatility from fat and punchy to crisp and articulate. True Pitch tension rods maintain even tension across the batter head, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and maximum resonance. Chrome die-cast hoops focus the tone with pinpoint projection, making this snare an ideal choice for live performances and studio sessions where you need to be heard.
