DW Design Matte Aluminum Snare Drum 14"x6.5"

Product details

Thoughtfully engineered aluminum shell

The natural tone of aluminum shells is, of course, brighter than most other metal-shelled snares, and the Design Series aluminum’s thin construction aids in delivering a lot of dry resonance while preserving its overtones. Its attack is round and direct, too, cutting through just about any mix with glorious tonal appeal. The dual-beaded design of the Design Series aluminum snare shell ensures maximum strength and longevity for the round of the shell, which has benefits for retaining proper intonation. Also, the bearing edges of this aluminum shell are rounded over, providing greater drumhead-to-shell contact and thus maximizing the tonal influence of each. It’s an aluminum snare engineered smarter!

Equipped for success in any setting

DW gave the Design Series Aluminum snare a hardware component collection that’s fit for musicians who play hard and demand the best performance possible from their snare. To begin, a pair of triple-flanged hoops cap the batter and snare sides of the shell, offering weight relief, improved sustain, and effortless tension adjustments. Next, a Sweetwater-favorite MAG throw off controls the snaring/tenoring of the shells with haste and professional-grade precision. Finally, a 10-piece set of Design Series lugs with rubber grommets offer DW-famous good looks, intonation dependability, and rattle-free operation that makes for total performance purity when miked up.
