The Korena take
Made in DW's California Custom Shop, this 14 x 6.5-inch Performance Series snare combines a handcrafted 10-ply HVX North American maple shell with a 45-degree back-cut bearing edge. The result is described as a punchy, focused attack with a warm, resonant center. Its MAG throw-off lets you engage or disengage the snares smoothly, and True-Pitch rods with quarter lugs provide a precise route to tuning changes at rehearsal, onstage, or in the studio.
