A gleaming snare with adjustable tension for dialing in your sound.
The DW Performance Series 1 mm polished brass snare drum brings the dazzling look and intensity of polished brass to your drum kit. With its thin 1 mm shell, this snare projects huge volume and sensitivity for rock-solid backbeats. The polished and rolled brass shell delivers musical tonality with reduced overtones compared to traditional brass snares. Fitted with DW's signature MAG throw-off and 3P butt plate, this snare lets you flip between three tunable tension settings for versatile snare response. Triple-flanged hoops enhance resonance while reinforcing the drum during rimshots. TruePitch rods keep tension steady as you play and quarter-sized lugs optimize shell vibration.
Cut Through the Mix With 1 mm Polished Brass Shell
The 1 mm polished brass shell gives this DW snare the focused attack and projection to slice through loud stage volumes with authority. The thin, lightweight shell resonates freely to pump out huge presence and sensitivity from ghost notes to rimshots. Polished to a gleaming shine, the brass shell looks fantastic under stage lighting while providing musical tonality without excessive ring or overtones. The thin brass responds quickly from soft taps to walloping hits.
Tweak Tension With MAG Throw-Off and 3P Butt Plate
This DW snare comes equipped with the innovative MAG throw-off, providing adjustable tension control with the flick of a lever. Choose from three distinct tension settings to shape the snare response to your playing style. In the tight setting, you get a clean, sensitive wire sound perfect for ghost notes and delicate playing. The medium tension lends a balanced tone across styles, while the loose setting opens up a fat, buzzy timbre suited to heavy backbeats. The 3P butt plate provides additional tension options for the bottom snare wires.
TruePitch Rods Maintain Tuning Stability
The TruePitch tuning rods keep tension uniform across the drum head to maintain consistent tuning through long sets. The rods prevent slipping under playing strain compared to standard tension rods. This means you won't have to pause between songs for minor tuning tweaks. The TruePitch rods make it easy to dial in your preferred tuning and stick with it. Quarter-sized lugs optimize resonance by reducing shell contact.
Triple-Flanged Hoops for Enhanced Rimshots
This DW snare comes with 2.3 mm triple-flanged hoops for stellar rimshot projection and articulation. The flanged hoop design allows the shell and head to resonate freely, pumping out volume and sensitivity. The hoops withstand high-impact rimshots night after night. Flanged hoops also keep the drum in tune by maintaining consistent pressure between the head and shell.
