DW Brass Pinstripe Ziricote Snare Drum

Drum Workshop (DW) have announced the release of yet another interesting instrument – the Brass Pinstripe Ziricote Snare Drum.

It was conceived by John Good and handcrafted by Master Shell Craftsman, Shon Smith. The company themselves advertise it in the following way:

“This exclusive snare drum marries the artistry of drum making with unparalleled sound engineering. Utilizing our versatile 333 North American Maple shell and wrapped with an outer veneer of our unique Exotic Pinstripe Ziricote, each drum is a testament to John and Shon’s dedication to excellence and innovation. The drum’s exquisite pinstripes, precision-inlaid with actual brass strips, not only accentuate its unique aesthetic but also contribute to its distinctive sound profile. Finished with a natural hard satin lacquer and assembled with Chrome hardware, this snare is as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. In a testament to its exclusivity and the artisanal skill that goes into each piece, only 40 of these drums will be crafted.”
