Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Handcrafted in DW’s California Custom Shop, this 14 x 6.5-inch limited snare centers on a 10-ply HVX shell of 100% North American maple. Its 45-degree back-cut bearing edge is described as adding sensitivity and control, bringing ghost notes and rimshots into clearer focus. True-Pitch tension rods, triple-flange counter hoops, and quarter-sized turret lugs handle tuning hardware, while the MAG throw-off gives the player a direct way to change snare tension during a performance. Broken Glass FinishPly supplies the visual finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Detailed ghost-note and rimshot playing that benefits from the sensitive 45-degree back-cut bearing edge.
