Anchor Any Kit with This Authoritative Snare
Talk to any timekeeper around Sweetwater, and they’ll tell you that DW’s Collector’s Series is the absolute pinnacle of custom percussion craftsmanship. Case in point: this gorgeous Collector’s Series Pure Walnut snare drum delivers equal parts focus and warmth, an ideal workhorse backbeat for any modern studio. Utilizing DW’s famous Vertical Low Timbre (VLT) plying process, the vertical orientation of the innermost and outermost plies reduces the overall shell tension, thereby enabling the shell to resonate to its full potential. Proper play extends to the hardware, too, with effortlessly tunable triple-flanged True Hoops, True-Pitch tension rods, MAG snare throw off with multi-position butt plate, TrueTone snare wires, and timelessly charming DW turret lugs. Topped with black nickel hardware and coming dressed in a hand-applied finish, this Collector’s Series Pure Walnut snare drum is ready to anchor your drum set or studio with its unique, authoritative voice.

Optimal resonance with VLT shells
One of DW’s venerable shell configurations, VLT shells derive their name from having their innermost and outermost plies be vertically oriented. The practical result of this is that the overall shell tension is significantly reduced, which then grants the shell a relatively lower fundamental pitch and enables it to resonate more freely. Pair this with the dark yet focused sound of walnut, and you have a wonderfully balanced snare drum that comes alive under the mics.

The black nickel hardware assortment aboard this Collector’s Series Pure Walnut snare drum is just as admirable as its careful build quality. Starting with an outfit of triple-flanged True Hoops, you can expect a stick-favoring rounded-over rim with a rounded outside edge for greater shell contact that prioritizes both tonal purity and tuning versatility. Anchored down by True-Pitch tension rods and DW’s steadfast and stylish turret lugs, you can play with as much expressiveness as the moment requires without worry of tension slippage.
Another staple of premier DW hardware engineering is the MAG snare throw off with its multi-position butt plate. This dynamic duo deftly controls a set of TrueTone snare wires, and the entire snare ecosystem comes together to provide you with enormous versatility and customization. Fore and aft, the Collector’s Series Pure Walnut snare drum proves itself to be a knockout contender in reliability under even the heaviest of hands and in just about any musical occasion you can conjure.
