Founded in 1972, it wasn't long before DW became one of the most recognizable names in drums and percussion. Today, DW snare drums can be found on stages and in recording studios worldwide, and this section is loaded with options.

DW certainly doesn't discriminate when it comes to snare drums. With a simple glance at this catalog, you'll notice quickly that DW specializes in snare drums for a wide range of tastes. From steel, aluminum and maple snare drums to custom-quality snares that were designed to pay tribute to legendary players, DW has a snare drum for everyone.

For an ideal example of DW's impressive snare craftsmanship, you owe it to yourself to check out the Performance Series snares, and a great place to start your search is with the 14x6.5 in. Ebony Stain Lacquer snare. Boasting a 100% hard rock maple shell for exceptional sonic performance, this top-rated item has a warm tone and huge projection with punchy fundamental tones. Plus, it's affordably priced, so drummers of all budgets can benefit from upgrading their kit with this stunning drum.

As mentioned previously, DW also creates snares to honor drum icons, and the Collector's Series Rush Icon Snare is a work of art in every way. Designed by DW Drum Designer, John Good, this snare has a laser-cut finish, and was hand-inlayed with various exotic wood veneers. Complemented by copper hardware and containing both True-Pitch tension rods and True-Tone snare wires, the Rush Icon Snare is a brilliant homage to Neil Peart's greatness.

Now that you have an idea of what DW offers in regards to snare drums, feel free to explore the rest of the selection. With DW, you can have peace of mind knowing that the snare you went with has come to life through an expert team who are just as passionate about drums as you are. Widely considered to be the most important drum of a kit, the snare you go with needs to be both loud and crisp, as well as durable enough to hold up through every practice and live show. Of course, it's for this reason why DW snare drums are so renowned amongst amateur and professional percussionists.
