The Concept Series Aluminum snare drum boasts a lightweight 1.2mm aluminum shell with a rolled and double-beaded design for a lower tonal range, finished with a brushed satin texture. Aluminum shells provide a distinctive sonic character compared to stainless steel, delivering a comparable round attack and musical overtones but with a drier resonance. Enhanced with chrome hardware, the drum features elegant dual-turret lugs and premium DW components, including a MAG Throw-Off™, True-Pitch Tuning™ rods, and Remo heads.
