This DW Design Series limited-edition snare drum captures the craftsmanship and style that drummers expect from DW, finished in a bold Titanium Satin Matte lacquer that instantly stands out for its sleek, modern look. This is the kind of drum that turns a backbeat into a statement—powerful, clean and full of presence every time you strike it. Handcrafted from 100% North American maple, its 10-ply HVLT shell delivers the punch, balance and projection that define the Design Series. The dual-row 20-lug layout adds visual character and precision tuning control, while hardware like True-Pitch tuning rods, MAG throw-off and True-Tone snare wires reflect DW’s obsession with quality. Built to perform and inspire, this snare stands as both a centerpiece for the Limited Titanium Satin kit and a standout addition to any drummer’s setup.

20-Lug Design Combines Precision and Power

There’s something instantly striking about a drum with twenty lugs—it feels engineered for control. The Design Series Limited uses its dual-row lug pattern to create balanced tension across the head, giving drummers exceptional tuning accuracy. Each lug pairs with DW’s True-Pitch tuning system for fine micro-adjustments that hold through long sessions. The result is a shell that stays in tune, responds consistently and produces sharp rimshots, crisp articulation and deep, centered tone under pressure. It’s precision that you can hear and feel with every strike.

Handcrafted Maple Shell Delivers Signature DW Character

DW’s 10-ply HVLT shell design takes 100% North American maple and aligns the grain for strength, resonance and projection. The construction gives this snare its tight, punchy attack with the full-bodied warmth that defines DW maple drums. The combination of the maple shell and triple-flange hoops creates a responsive voice that fits rock, jazz or studio work with ease. Complemented by the MAG throw-off and True-Tone snare wires, the drum transitions smoothly from dry precision to open resonance, capturing detail in every dynamic range. It’s a testament to DW’s legacy of innovation and the company’s commitment to building instruments that sound as good as they look.
