Lightweight and durable, carbon fiber has been used for airplane parts and racing chassis. DW has incorporated carbon fiber into their Custom Shop lineup. Many prototypes have been made and DW's testing finally produced a shell to make the cut. It provides plenty of cut for loud playing situations, but it's also dynamically sensitive. Each Collector's Series snare drum offers features such as the MAG throw-off system with 3P (3 position) butt-plate, True-Hoops, True-Tone snare wires, True-Pitch tuning and DW Heads by Remo USA.
