Description

Created in partnership between Guitar Center and DW to commemorate the United States' 250th anniversary, the DW Collector's Series Red, White and Blue 333 Maple Snare Drum celebrates a defining moment in American history through world-class American craftsmanship. Limited to just 25 instruments, this Guitar Center Exclusive model pairs a striking red, white and blue finish with DW's innovative 14x6.5" 333 9-ply maple shell, delivering exceptional warmth, projection and resonance. Premium appointments including DW Turret lugs, True-Hoops, a MAG throw-off, a 5P butt plate and Remo heads complete a commemorative, patriotic snare drum built for discerning collectors and professional drummers alike.

A Guitar Center Exclusive Honoring 250 Years of American History

Produced exclusively for Guitar Center, this limited-edition Collector's Series snare commemorates the United States Semiquincentennial—the nation's 250th anniversary. With only 25 drums produced, it represents one of DW's most exclusive modern Collector's Series releases. The bold red, white and blue finish pays tribute to this historic milestone while creating a visually striking instrument equally suited for display, recording sessions and live performance.

333 Maple Shell With VLT Technology

At the heart of the drum is DW's innovative 333 shell, a 9-ply maple design engineered with Vertical Low Timbre (VLT) technology to deliver exceptional warmth, projection and resonance. By orienting the wood grain vertically, VLT reduces internal shell tension, allowing the shell to vibrate more freely and produce a lower fundamental pitch with greater tonal depth. The absence of reinforcement rings further opens the shell's response, resulting in exceptional sustain, sensitivity and a fat, articulate voice that excels in both studio and live environments.

Collector's Series Hardware Built for Professional Performance

Premium DW hardware complements the shell's dynamic response with the reliability professional drummers expect. True-Hoops provide a classic feel with consistent tuning stability, while the MAG throw-off and 5P butt plate deliver smooth, dependable snare operation. DW Turret lugs complete the drum's distinctive Collector's Series aesthetic, and every instrument is handcrafted in Oxnard, California, reflecting the passion and craftsmanship that have defined DW Collector's Series drums for decades.

A Limited-Edition Collector's Series Masterpiece

Combining innovative shell design, premium DW craftsmanship and extraordinary collector appeal, this commemorative snare stands apart as both a performance instrument and a lasting tribute to America's 250th anniversary. Limited to only 25 pieces, the DW Collector's Series Ltd Red, White, and Blue 333 Maple Snare Drum delivers the unmistakable sound, craftsmanship and exclusivity expected from a USA-built DW Collector's Series instrument.
