The DW Collector's Series black nickel over brass snare drum delivers a classic studio brass tone with modern precision. Its 1 mm rolled brass shell produces a signature bright, cutting metallic character ideal for a wide range of musical styles. You'll appreciate the black nickel finish's striking aesthetics as it shimmers under the stage lights. The MAG throw-off and chrome die-cast hoops allow you to dial in your tuning with surgical accuracy, while the 5-position (5P) butt plate offers enhanced tuning versatility. True Pitch 50 tuning rods further ensure rock-solid tuning stability from rehearsal to performance.
