DW

collapse expand iconDescription

DW's Performance Series snare offers a brand-new shell technology devised by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California. Combining the latest grain orientation technology and hand-selected North American hard rock maple, Performance Series' proprietary HVX shells deliver a low, punchy fundamental, with ample resonance and projection that's perfectly suited for live applications.

This snare features a 10-ply shell with HVX construction. The drum hardware offers a "turret lug" for a unique "propeller" look, beefy 3 mm, triple-flanged counter hoops, True-Pitch tuning rods and a smooth-action DW MAG throw-off. The DW Performance Series snare is made in the USA.

    I was looking for a deeper, fatter sound snare that I could use at my church gig. I had been using my Ludwig Supraphonic, but they were asking for a different sound profile. This fit the bill perfectly! DW has not cheaped out on this drum- 3mm triple flange hoops, MAG throw-off, 8 ply maple shell, quality snare wires, beautiful sparkle wrap and Remo heads! Great tone and response, amazingly easy to tune with a wide tuning range- it arrived tuned fairly high, but only took me 5 minutes to re-tune to my preference of a lower tuning. Today's modern worship music has been going to a more towards the deeper snare tones, and if your looking for a perfect for that or any musical genre that needs a fatter, deeper tone, than this the drum for you!

  • Great sound
