DW

Description

Some snares make an impression with volume alone—this one makes its mark through design. The DW Collector's SonicPly Satin Oil snare drum is the result of two years of John Good's experimentation in DW's California Custom Shop, blending North American maple with aluminum in a hybrid shell. Constructed from twelve plies of maple with two aluminum layers, the SonicPly shell combines the resonance of wood with the precision of metal. Finished in satin oil to highlight the maple's natural grain and fitted with True Hoops, full-size turret lugs and a MAG throw-off, this snare reflects DW's reputation for detail, durability and world-class sound.

DW Collectors SonicPly Satin Oil Snare Drum Construction

Every hit on the SonicPly snare reveals why DW continues to set standards in modern drum making. The maple provides body and warmth, while the aluminum layers add projection, articulation and a controlled sustain. This construction ensures that rimshots, ghost notes and accents all speak clearly, making the snare equally at home in the studio or on stage. Outfitted with Collector's Series hardware, the SonicPly balances innovation with the consistency that has defined DW for decades. For drummers who demand clarity and construction they can trust, this snare shows how tradition and experimentation come together under the DW badge.
