DW Performance DRPF6514SSBD 14X6.5 inch Snare Drum, Black Diamond

USA Maple Snare from the DW Performance Series

The DW Performance Series features a proprietary drum shell called HVX, referring to its grain orientation made up of horizontal, vertical and diagonal plies. The 10-ply all-maple shells, made from hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple, are said to provide a low-mid frequency range with plenty of punch, articulation and are perfect for a wide variety of musical applications. In addition to a brand new shell design, Performance Series drums also feature a new look courtesy of scaled-down version of DW’s trademark turret lug, called a “Quarter Lug”. The snare drum even features a completely new dual-mini turret lug. The snare also features DW’s new MAG drop throw-off and heavy-gauge flanged steel counter hoops. The entire set comes equipped with graduated counter hoops: 8”& 10” are 1.6mm, 12” to 16” are 2.3mm and the 14” snare drum is 3mm.
