The DW 14" x 8" Performance Series Brass Snare Drum delivers massive depth, power, and projection with the unmistakable character of a brass shell. Built from a 1mm rolled brass shell, this snare offers a bold, full-bodied tone with a rich low-end punch, cutting rimshots, and a wide-open presence that shines in both live and studio settings. The deeper 8" shell adds extra volume and body, making it a go-to choice for drummers who want a commanding backbeat with serious impact.

Crafted in DW’s California facility, the Performance Series brings professional-level features and tone at a more accessible level. This snare is equipped with triple-flanged hoops for a balanced feel and resonance, along with DW’s trusted hardware for smooth operation and reliable tuning. Whether tuned low and thunderous or cranked for articulate crack, this drum responds with authority and musicality.
