Description

You can feel a spark the moment the DW Collector’s Series aluminum snare answers your touch. Its thin 1mm rolled aluminum shell comes alive with crisp articulation and lively overtones, transforming light strokes, ghost notes and full rim shots into a colorful, expressive voice. Finished in matte grey and paired with striking copper hardware, this snare looks as bold as it sounds—inviting drummers to dig in and explore every groove with confidence.

1mm Rolled Aluminum Shell Elevates Resonance

The beadless, lightweight 1mm aluminum shell delivers the open resonance and musical lift players expect from a top-tier metal snare. Its naturally sensitive response captures nuance for studio work, yet remains punchy and articulate under higher velocities onstage. From tight, articulate backbeats to intricate dynamics, this aluminum shell adapts fluidly, offering clarity, depth and projection across any genre.

Premium DW Hardware Enhances Control and Feel

DW equips this snare with hardware engineered for precision and reliability. The MAG throw-off provides smooth, effortless engagement, while the 3-position butt plate allows fast tension changes between songs or sections. True Hoops support stable tuning without choking the shell, and DW’s snare wires deliver crisp response from edge to center. Together, these features create a controlled, expressive playing experience that supports subtle detail work and explosive accents alike.
