DWDesign Series Black Nickel Over Brass Snare Drum - 14x5.5 Inch
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black nickel plating covers a 1 mm, bead-reinforced all-brass shell on this DW Design Series snare. The shell is described as delivering aggressive attack with musical overtones that cut through a mix. Its MAG Throw-Off changes snare tension with a lever, moving between tighter and looser settings quickly. True-Pitch tuning uses threaded tension rods, and a coated, single-ply DW Reverse Dot batter head by Remo is pre-installed for immediate playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who need fast snare-tension changes between tighter and looser response settings.
- Drum parts that need aggressive attack and overtones capable of cutting through a mix.
