Shapes the drum’s focused attack, balanced response, darker overtones, and sustain.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a 1 mm polished copper shell, this 14 x 6.5 in. DW Performance Series snare combines focused attack with balanced response and darker, more complex overtones. The thin shell is described as freely resonant, with sustain that carries through rimshots and cross-stick work. True-Pitch tension rods and Performance Series lugs support precise tuning, while the MAG throw-off and 3P butt plate let you move among three snare-tension settings without interrupting the setup.
