DW Collectors Series Snare

The DW Collectors Series 6" x 14" Snare Drum is the cornerstone of a fabulous professional drum kit. Featuring DW's Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) technology, this maple snare drum serves up in-your-face impact, with a fat low bark and incisive crack. There's a reason top drummers like Neil Peart, Dave Grohl, and Terry Bozzio play DW drums. With DW, it's all about the sound and feel. The fact that these drums look killer is a complete bonus. If you're ready to build a serious drum kit, Sweetwater has your snare: the DW Collectors Series 6" x 14" Snare Drum.

  • DW quality

DW Collectors Series
The non plus ultra in drum customization, DW's Collectors Series boasts the company's SSC. The result of more than a decade of DW Custom Shop shell technology, SSC incorporates the company's X, VLT, and VLX shell technologies into drums that sound more than the sum of their parts. Naturally, you can special order a custom DW kit anyway you want it, but DW has simplified the process by optimizing particular shell types for each drum size. Juiced with SSC, the DW Collectors Series 6" x 14" Snare Drum lets you power your backbeat with stunning impact.

Maple Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC)
The DW Collectors Series 6" x 14" Snare Drum sports DW's Maple SSC. Maple is a traditional shell material that gives you low-end punch, warmth, and attack. For years, drum makers have preferred maple for its impact and resonant tonal qualities. Starting with the best wood, DW then applies its unique SSC technology to create some of the best-sounding drums ever made. DW found that by alternate orientation of the grain patterns of different plies (vertical, horizontal, and even diagonal) drums could be optimized for their particular specialty, for instance low end response in a kick drum or floor tom.

DW quality
For over 30 years, DW Drums has made some of the most revered drums, pedals, stands, and other drum hardware out there. It all began with an innovative adjustable trap-case seat. Not only was this the first of DW's many breakthrough hardware designs, but it showed the world that they really understand what drumming is all about. On top of that, DW Drums' craftsmanship has more than set the bar for drum makers everywhere. Discover this commitment to quality for yourself in every drum and piece of DW hardware you buy.
