The DW Sheila E. Collector's Series ICON snare drum is a stunning tribute to "The Queen of Percussion." Sheila E. is a Grammy-winning artist and trailblazing drummer who has influenced generations of musicians with her work alongside Prince and her groundbreaking solo career. This limited-edition snare drum celebrates her legacy with exceptional craftsmanship, vibrant design and impeccable sound quality, making it a true collector's item for drummers and fans alike.

Masterful Craftsmanship and Premium Materials

The Sheila E. ICON snare drum is built with a handcrafted 12-ply North American hard rock maple shell, renowned for its tonal warmth and punch. DW's HVLT (Horizontal Vertical Low Timbre) grain orientation enhances the shell's tonal response, delivering a higher pitch and exceptional clarity. The exterior is wrapped in a hand-selected birdseye maple veneer, showcasing DW's commitment to using only the finest materials. Each drum is a testament to DW's precision and dedication to quality.

Striking Design With Personal Symbolism

The snare's standout design is a visual masterpiece, featuring Sheila E.'s iconic backward "E" signature and a kaleidoscope of laser-cut, hand-inlaid butterflies. These multi-colored butterflies, made from basswood, pearwood and poplar, symbolize Sheila's musical journey and artistic spirit. With its intricate detailing and rich colors, the drum is as visually inspiring as it is musically impressive. Gold hardware, including DW's patented MAG Throw-off, adds a luxurious touch that perfectly complements the vibrant design.

Innovative Features for Superior Performance

Beyond its stunning aesthetics, the Sheila E. ICON snare drum is packed with DW's cutting-edge features. The MAG Throw-off ensures smooth and reliable snare tension adjustments, while the five-position (5P) butt plate offers versatile sound customization. True-Hoops and True-Pitch 50 tuning rods provide precise tuning and a consistent sound across dynamic ranges. These innovative elements make the snare drum not only a collector's item but also a high-performing instrument for professional drummers.

Limited Edition With Exclusive Accessories

This limited-edition snare drum is restricted to just 250 units worldwide, making it a truly exclusive piece. Each drum comes with a deluxe 13" DW snare bag for safe transport and storage. To mark its authenticity and value, each unit includes a signed certificate from DW's John Good. DW's Sheila E. ICON snare drum is a fitting tribute to an iconic artist, combining exquisite design, top-tier performance and unmatched craftsmanship in a drum that will inspire drummers for years to come.
