The DW Performance Series Steel Snare Drum is a 14" x 6.5" snare that is constructed from 1mm rolled steel, giving it a crisp, metallic crack that cuts through any mix. Thanks to its innovative True-Pitch tuning rods, drummers can finely tune this versatile snare to suit any style.

Crisp, Robust Tone

The DW Performance Series Steel Snare Drum delivers a bold tone with plenty of high-end cut and midrange focus. Its 1mm rolled steel shell provides an articulate "ping" without excessive overtones, allowing drummers to achieve a balanced sound that projects clearly. The snare's sharp attack works well for many musical styles, from rock and funk to jazz and Latin music.

Precision Tuning

DW's True-Pitch tuning rods allow for precise tuning of the DW Performance Series Steel Snare Drum. Drummers can make fine pitch adjustments to suit their needs, enabling a diverse range of tones from this single snare. The tuning rods hold tension well and are resistant to detuning, providing a consistent sound for every performance.

Road-Ready Design

With its durable steel construction and Chrome finish, the DW Performance Series Steel Snare Drum is built to handle the rigors of the road. It features sturdy, road-tested hardware and high-quality components designed to last. The snare's compact 14" x 6.5" size makes it easy to transport and position within any drum setup.
