The DW 14" x 4" True Cast Has Arrived!
There are limited releases… and then there’s this.
DW Drums has teamed up with artist Dave Elitch to create something truly special—the first-ever True-Cast piccolo snare drum. And with only 100 made worldwide, this is one of those pieces that simply doesn’t come around often.
At the core of this 4x14” snare is a fully machined, sand-cast Bell Bronze shell—an incredibly complex build that features a contoured interior, tapering from 5mm at the edges to 3mm at the center. The result is a drum that delivers massive projection, articulate attack, and an exceptionally wide tuning range, all packed into a tight piccolo format.
Every detail on this drum is purpose-built. True-Cast counter hoops add focus and power, while the mini turret lugs and Mini MAG throw-off—both machined from brass—bring precision and reliability. It’s fitted with DW’s True-Pitch tension rods, 20-strand True-Tone snare wires, and DW MFG heads by Remo USA, making it equally at home in the studio or on stage.
And this isn’t just about sound—it’s about presentation. Each drum includes a custom stealth flight case by Calzone and a signed certificate of authenticity, reinforcing just how special this run is.
This is one of those snares that checks every box: cutting-edge design, premium materials, artist collaboration, and extreme rarity. If you’ve been waiting for something truly unique to add to your setup or collection, this is it.
Only 100 exist. We got 1. Once its gone, its gone.
