DW Performance snares feature 10 ply HVX construction. This brand new shell technology devised by John Good and the DW Custom Shell Shop in California. DW takes hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple and uses the latest grain orientation technology to produce HVX shells that deliver low, punchy tones with plenty of resonance and projection. This innovative hybrid makes them perfect for live applications.
All Performance shells are cool tempered which means that once they have been baked under pressure they are pressurised cooler to ensure that the glue instantly crystalises and the shell hardens to a perfect cylinder. This process greatly increases tuning stability.
The DW Performance Drums are custom-inspired, with double threaded centre lugs, new badge, logo head and a hand-sprayed specialty lacquer finish. They're designed to get noticed for all the right reasons. Easy to tune, superior sounding HVX shells, combined with DW heads by Remo USA, True Pitch™ Tuning, all-new MAG throw-off and DW 45 degree back-cut bearing edges, make these drums sing.
Chrome Standard Triple Flange Hoops give these drums a really versatile sound that suits all types of players from jazz and funk to rock and hip hop. The steel triple flange hoops on this snare are 3.0mm.
Carry your snare drum in style. Featuring an eye-catching black and white design, the DW 14'' x 6.5'' Deluxe Snare Drum Bag combines comfort with security. DW do this by using high-grade nylon and reinforced plastic inserts, which offers protection similar to moulded plastic cases. For comfort, you can use the contoured, padded handle for carrying. Or, if you want, there's an adjustable shoulder strap that can be detached using the provided metal carabiner.
