Right out of the box….absolutely perfect !
Drum was tuned and sounds great which doesn't happen often when getting factory new drums ! Definitely playable outta the box….but I'll do my favorite drum heads , a little tuning and this drum will be my go to snare drum ! If you're in the market for a sweet aluminum snare drum….you'll love this drum ! It's worth every penny and more !!

The perfect choice

I've read about DW drums sounding incredible right out of the box. Well, it's true. This being the first step on my long journey back to building a set, after playing for 10 seconds I knew I made the right decision. You will not be disappointed. And the awesome service from sweetwater is a nice bonus.

Hope you like ping

Love this snare drum. It is my first dw drum with more too come. I am putting together a performance series kit but, with all the videos and demos I've seen with the collectors aluminum I had to get this. I will have to say it does have a lot of ping more than I was expecting but,I do love that sound it is the character of this drum. I am not one to use moon gel or any dampening for snares or toms. I actually tried out 2 different heads one was the Evans ec reverse dot and a Evans g2 coated,they were OK but they seemed to take away to much of the life of the drum so I went back to the dw stock head and it just made the snare come back to life and couldn't be happier. The 5 position butt plate is extremely fun to play around with. I can't wait to do a studio session with this snare which is comming up in a couple months that will be the true test. All in all this snare drum rips!

Great Snare

I revived my snare on 6/18/23 I unboxed it and started playing it and noticed it had a five position but plate which made it even better than the three position it was advertised with. I am extremely happy with it.

Great drum

I received this drum the day before a studio recording session. I spent only 5 minutes tweaking the batter head. Took it to the studio and it sounded great. Lots of pop and rim action. I love this drum!
