Being the world’s largest independent drum shop has its advantages. Exhibit A - Our Custom Profile DW Collectors Series Maple Snare Drum!
We’ve always liked the sound of the traditional DW Collectors Snare Drum, but we always wanted something a little different. The folks at Drum Workshop were extremely generous in giving us an opportunity to build our own DW from the ground up!
We began with a no-frills, 7-ply shell with no reinforcement rings and no lacquer on the inside. We requested less hardware, with only EIGHT lugs, and Mini-Mag Throw-off. Finally, we had them cut slightly wider and deeper snare beds. The result is an incredibly versatile snare drum that is more dynamic and sensitive with a little extra bottom end at all tunings.
