    This is everything I come to expect from DW. It has a fantastic crack on rimshots. To see this thing in person is a sight to see, a thing of beauty for sure! I love the machining.

  • Amazing drum!

    Visiting Guitar Center for, the grand opening of the Daytona Beach, Florida store last weekend, I heard some kid banging on a DW display set. Even with an inexperienced drummer on the throne the distinctive sound of this snare drum drew me over to examine just what I was hearing. When I got a turn to sample the 6.5 x 14" snare drum I knew I had to have one. Like a fine piece of jewelry, the weight and feel of this drum speaks to it's craftsmanship. Undoubtedly the best sounding metal snare drum I have experienced in more than 30 years of performing and recording.

  • Can't go wrong with this DW Collectors brass snare

    It arrived on Tuesday and I gigged with it at a punk rock show Tuesday night. It was essentially playable right out of the box and hardly needed any tuning. The three-way throw-off is a really handy feature. The Reno stock heads are great quality and have a nice tone. The snare is loud and crisp, and cuts through the other band instruments nicely. Visually, it is a stunning drum.
