The DW Design series maple snare drum provides serious drummers with a responsive, tonally balanced snare drum perfect for any style of music. Built with 10 plies of premium North American maple, this DW snare offers projection, sensitivity and clarity. Low-mass Mini Turret lugs minimize shell interference for pure tone while a MAG throw-off and True-Tone snare wires offer precise adjustment and crisp snare response.
Premium Maple Shell Delivers Balanced Tone
As a drummer, you'll appreciate the DW Design Series maple snare drum's 10-ply North American maple shell. Maple provides an ideal combination of warmth, sensitivity and projection. The shell's thickness and ply arrangement are precision engineered to produce tonally balanced response from the batter head down to the snare side. You'll get articulate highs, a focused midrange and controlled low end that suits any music.
Low-Mass Hardware Enhances Resonance
To maximize the maple shell's natural resonance, DW equipped this snare with low-mass Mini Turret lugs. These compact lugs firmly secure the drum heads while limiting shell contact for uninhibited tone. The MAG throw-off allows quick, accurate snare wire adjustment so you can tweak the crispness and sensitivity of the snare response. True-Tone snare wires provide even tension and vibration for consistent snare sound from edge to edge.
True-Pitch Tuning Keeps You in Tune
As a serious drummer, staying in tune is important for getting quality sound from your kit. That's why DW included True-Pitch Tuning on this maple snare drum. The precision-cut bearing edges and carefully installed counterhoops ensure even seating of the drum heads for quick, accurate tuning and longer-lasting tuning stability. You'll spend less time tuning and more time playing.
A Drum Built for Dedicated Players
Overall, the snare drum delivers the premium build and performance that dedicated drummers demand. From its carefully selected maple plies to low-mass hardware and innovative True-Pitch Tuning, every detail of this DW snare is engineered for great tone, quick response and tuning accuracy. If you're looking to step up to a professional-quality snare drum, the DW design series maple snare drum deserves your consideration.
