Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sized at 14 x 5.5 in., this Collector’s Series snare uses a 1 mm rolled brass shell beneath its satin-black-over-brass finish, with black nickel hardware. The shell is described as resonant and warm, balancing a bright, cutting sound with metallic overtones. A DW MAG throw-off provides direct snare-wire adjustment. The 3P butt plate gives the wires three contact points for balanced tension, and True Pitch tension rods support precise, stable tuning of the drum’s tone and sensitivity.
