DW

Description

There’s a special kind of energy that comes from the DW Collector's Series aluminum snare drum, especially when you hear how openly it resonates at the lightest touch. Its thin, bead-less 1 mm rolled aluminum shell creates a bright, overtone-rich voice that adapts easily to both live and studio settings. Finished in a matte gray powder coat and paired with refined gold hardware, this snare brings together tone, durability and visual character for players who want an instrument that feels as expressive as it looks.

Thin 1 mm Aluminum Shell Enhances Resonance

The lightweight, bead-less aluminum shell gives this DW Collector’s Series snare a lively and resonant tone that responds effortlessly to dynamic playing. Its thinner construction allows subtle vibrations to bloom into rich overtones, adding musical depth to everything from delicate ghost notes to assertive backbeats. Whether shaping soft jazz textures or anchoring punchy rock grooves, this aluminum build offers versatility with a distinct, articulate edge.

Premium DW Hardware Supports Precision Tuning

Hardware plays a crucial role in how a snare performs, and DW equips this aluminum model with the same features trusted across the Collector’s Series line. A MAG throw-off provides smooth, reliable engagement, paired with a 3-position butt plate for quick snare wire adjustments mid-session or mid-set. True Hoops deliver tuning stability while letting the shell resonate freely, and DW-designed snare wires maintain crisp sensitivity across the entire dynamic range. Together, these components keep the drum responsive, controllable and gig-ready.
