DW 14" x 5.5" Design Series Thin Aluminum Snare

DW’s Design Series is well known around Sweetwater for bringing premium-grade drum building within attainable reaches, and this aluminum-shelled model exemplifies that success. Its double-beaded design of rolled aluminum establishes a strong metallic tonal foundation that’s trebly and rich in overtones yet versatile enough to accommodate a variety of genres requiring the bright and articulate nature of a metal snare. Courtesy of 20-strand snare wires with brass end plates, its response is dry, crisp, and sensitive enough to showcase accents and enhance nuances with ease. The Design Series aluminum’s supreme tonality comes well backed by an ensemble of fine DW hardware as well, including lightweight triple-flanged hoops, a speedy MAG throw off, and 10 beautiful Design Series lugs. Suffice it to say, this drum would make the perfect hardworking studio snare or expressive stage companion!
