This DW Design Series snare drum features a matte-finish, beaded aluminum shell, creating a luxurious design. The thin aluminum shell produces more overtones, resulting in a more resonant tone with a rounded attack and a dry resonance.
DW's Performance Series snare drums are crafted from birch, a popular wood among studio drummers and engineers for its perfect balance of crisp articulation and warm tone. Suitable for a variety of musical styles, they offer a sharp attack, short sustain, and balanced resonance.
The DW Collector's Series Steel snare drum features a chrome-plated, 3mm thick, heavy-duty rolled steel shell, providing a thick, powerful attack and musical overtones.
