Interested in upgrading to the boutique looks and sought-after sounds of a real DW snare? Then consider adding this DW Collector's Series Exotic snare to your kit. Perched atop its rich, cutting 12-ply maple shell is Sweetwater's exclusive quilted maple veneer finish, which is guaranteed to attract envy every time you pull it out of its case. Premium features include DW's True Hoops, which offer the classically balanced tone of triple-flanged hoops but with better tuning stability. Enjoy the smooth-action of DW's MAG magnetic throw off, which keeps snare wires in the on position without the risk of slippage. This DW Collector's Series Exotic snare is one of only 50 pieces made from one stunningly figured piece of timber, so order yours while they last. Each snare comes signed by John Good himself.

Sweetwater-exclusive exotic veneer

This Collector's Series Exotic snare comes from a singularly stunning piece of quilted maple — one of only 50 in the world. DW did an incredible job of bringing these drums to life. We hope you're as proud of their looks as we are.

HVLT maple shell

DW's Horizontal Outside + Vertical Low Timbre Inside (HVLT) shell uses the same stacked vertical-grain wood ply orientation as its groundbreaking VLT arrangement, for a lower tone with no compromise to resonance or attack. But DW found that by incorporating a horizontal-grain outer ply, the shell's tension was increased for a fuller low-midrange punch — great for getting those backbeats to pop through a mix.
