The DW Collector's Series Concrete snare drum with Black Nickel hardware brings a distinctive shell material to a familiar 13x7" snare configuration. Built around a 5.5 mm cast concrete shell, this drum offers a unique alternative to traditional wood and metal construction. Its 45-degree bearing edges establish the contact points between the shell and drum heads, while the 7" depth provides a substantial shell profile within a compact 13" diameter. DW True-Hoops, Turret lugs and a MAG throw-off complete the hardware configuration, giving drummers familiar tuning and snare engagement features. Finished in natural Concrete with contrasting Black Nickel hardware, this Finnish-made snare combines a specialized shell material with established Collector's Series appointments.
Cast Concrete Shell With 45-Degree Bearing Edges
Unlike conventional wood or metal snare drums, the Collector's Series Concrete model uses a 5.5 mm cast concrete shell. This distinctive construction gives the drum a unique physical foundation, making it an intriguing option for players exploring alternative shell materials. The 13" diameter and 7" depth create a relatively narrow, deep configuration, while the 45-degree bearing edges define the interface between the shell and drum heads. DW True-Hoops and Turret lugs provide the hardware for head tensioning and tuning, and the MAG throw-off allows convenient engagement and disengagement of the snare wires. DW heads by Remo complete the supplied head configuration.
Specialized Construction With Distinctive DW Appointments
The natural Concrete finish highlights the drum's unique shell material, while Black Nickel hardware provides a contrasting appearance. Manufactured in Finland, the snare pairs its cast concrete construction with recognizable DW components and a distinctive 13x7" profile. For drummers interested in expanding their collection beyond conventional shell materials, the DW Collector's Series Concrete snare drum with Black Nickel hardware offers a different approach to snare construction.
