Information

Snares are a vital part of your sound and tone woods are crucial to DW’s legacy. Explore beloved woods like Maple or Oak for warmth and punch in a DW snare.

DW offers a diverse selection of premium, hand-picked woods sourced from around the globe. DW Collector’s Series turret lugs offer an iconic circular design, which maintains tuning while spreading tension to prevent warping. Performance Series lugs offer a quarter-sized turret, while Design Series are a low-mass mini-turret.

True-Pitch tuning features 5mm threads rather than the standard 12/24. There’s a thread every 0.8mm on DW True-Pitch rods or about 20% more threads, versus every 1.05mm on standard rods. The result is a more exact tuning process. Collector's Series drums feature True-Pitch TP50 chrome tuning rods. Performance Series and Design Series drums feature True-Pitch TP30 steel tuning rods.

True Hoops on Collector's Series drums offer a fully rounded top edge to reduce stick ‘chop’ and enhance articulation, while a rounded outer edge maximises shell contact for truer tuning and tone. Performance Series and Design Series are available exclusively with Triple Flange Hoops to give your drums a great versatile sound and are available in graduated weights 1.6mm for 8 & 10" toms, 2.3mm for 12-18" toms, and 3.0mm for snares.

The MAG throw-off has an integrated magnet and horizontal tension adjustment for smooth, easy-adjust action.

The 3P (three position) butt plates give drummers multiple levels of snare wire tension to dial in just the right snare sound.
