Premium 10-Ply Maple Construction

The DW Collectors Series Snare is constructed from 10 plies of hand-selected, premium-grade North American maple, providing a dense yet resonant foundation for a wide range of musical styles. The wood is carefully chosen and crafted to produce a drum with outstanding tonal qualities and visual beauty.

Reinforced Hoops for Superior Sound

To maximize resonance and shell vibration, DW fits this premium snare with six-ply reinforcement hoops. These hoops provide additional strength and shell support, allowing the drum to resonate fully and produce a wide range of tones with outstanding attack and projection.

Optimal Bearing Edge for Articulate Sound

A rounded 60-degree bearing edge provides the ideal angle of contact between the drumhead and shell, resulting in a articulate yet warm tone with plenty of resonance. This bearing edge allows the drum to speak clearly and authoritatively across all dynamic levels.
