DW

Description

Available exclusively at Guitar Center, the DW Design Series snare drum combines a full, resonant maple-shell voice with DW's precision hardware. Its 10-ply HVLT North American maple shell features 60-degree bearing edges that help shape the drum's response and articulation. Low-mass Mini-Turret lugs and True-Pitch tuning allow precise adjustment, while the MAG throw-off and True-Tone snare wires provide control over snare engagement and response. Offered in two distinctive size and finish combinations, this Guitar Center Exclusive brings the craftsmanship and performance of DW's Design Series to a versatile snare platform.

10-Ply HVLT Maple Shell With 60-Degree Bearing Edges

The 10-ply HVLT North American maple shell produces a punchy, resonant sound characteristic of DW's Design Series construction. Alternating horizontal and vertical wood-grain orientations contribute to the shell's acoustic character, while precision-cut 60-degree bearing edges establish consistent contact between the shell and drumheads.

DW Tuning and Snare Hardware for Precise Adjustment

DW's low-mass Mini-Turret lugs work with the True-Pitch tuning system, whose fine-threaded tension rods allow precise drumhead adjustments while helping reduce unwanted slippage. The MAG throw-off uses an integrated magnet for smooth snare engagement, with horizontal tension adjustment for further control over the wires. DW's True-Tone snare wire design incorporates uniformly aligned strands and brass end clips, rounding out a hardware setup focused on tuning control and convenient snare operation.

Exclusive Configurations With Distinctive Finishes

Triple-flanged hoops and chrome hardware complement the maple shell and DW tuning components. The 14x6" version features a Satin Sage Metallic finish, while the 14x6.5" model comes in Titanium Satin Lacquer. Both configurations share the same 10-ply HVLT shell construction and professional hardware, allowing drummers to choose the size and appearance that best suit their preferences. Available exclusively at Guitar Center, these Design Series snares pair DW's established drum-making approach with distinctive configurations.
