11-ply Maple Snare with an Exotic Cinnamon Burl Veneer
By pairing an 11-ply proprietary shell of select North American hard rock maple with a prized cinnamon burl veener, this DW Collector's Series Exotic snare drum succeeds in delivering power, tone, sensitivity, and visuals unmatched by others in its class. Its roughly 1/4-inch VLT shell is created without the use of re-rings to command a wider tuning range and occupy even more sonic space. Sixty-degree bearing edges with thin ply-and-a-half roundover outers generate maximum tone and minimal overring from batter and snare-side heads. And Collector's Series chrome hardware that extends from the 3.0mm True-Hoops and MAG/3P throw off right down to the iconic DW lugs makes the DW Collector's Series Exotic Cinnamon Burl snare from Sweetwater a drum that's suited for the choosiest players and collections.

11-ply maple VLT shell
DW's VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) grain orientation gives the DW Collector's Series Exotic snare a deep, satisfying punch to match its tremendous resonant potential. Inner and outer plies are rotated vertically, 90 degrees against the 9-ply horizontal-grained core, resulting in less tension on the shell — thus, greater vibrations and a lower pitch overall. The 60-degree inner bearing edges with thin roundover outers gently control overring while maximizing head response.
