14" x 5.5" DW Design Aluminum Snare

14" x 6.5" DW Design Aluminum Snare
The Design Series® snare has a 1mm rolled Aluminum shell and features high-end DW hardware including: The DW MAG™ throw-off which allows drummers to precisely adjust snare tension with a smooth, friction-free easy action, DW’s True-Pitch® rods that offer more exact tuning, low-mass mini-turret lugs for reduced shell tension, DW TrueTone® snare wires and rounded triple-flange hoops to provide drummers with open attack and rim shots.
The new Design Series® Aluminum snare is available in two sizes: 14″ x 5.5″ and 14” x 6.5″. With thin beaded aluminum shells, these snares are supposed to offer a more resonant tone with more overtones than their thicker rolled-shell cousins, while producing a rounder attack with drier resonance. The drums are finished with DW patented chrome hardware.
