Your custom drums, made in America





Sweetwater is proud to offer you this DW Collector's Series snare. Made in DW's California Custom Shop, the Collector's Series is the company's flagship line of custom drums. Crafted from North American hard rock maple, select heartwood birch, or maple/mahogany, the Collector's Series gives you a choice of shell configurations and a bounteous array of high-end finishes and drum hardware color options to create your very own custom kit.





Maple Specialized Shell Configuration





The DW Collector's Series Finish Ply 6.5" x 14" Snare Drum sports DW's Maple Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC). Maple is a traditional shell material that gives you low-end punch, warmth, and attack. For years, drum makers have preferred maple for its impact and resonant tonal qualities. Starting with the best wood, DW then applies its unique SSC technology to create some of the best-sounding drums ever made. DW found that by alternate orientation of the grain patterns of different plies (vertical, horizontal, and even diagonal), drums could be optimized for their particular specialty - for instance, punch and impact in a snare drum.





DW: the sound and performance serious drummers demand





For over 30 years, DW has made some of the most revered drums, pedals, stands, and other drum hardware out there. It all began with an innovative adjustable trap-case seat. Not only was this the first of DW's many breakthrough hardware designs, but it showed the world that they really understand what drumming is all about. DW craftsmanship has more than set the bar for drum makers everywhere. Discover this commitment to quality for yourself in every drum and piece of DW hardware you buy.
