The DW Design Series Black Nickel Over Brass Snare Drum combines the bold crack and sensitivity of a brass shell with the refined craftsmanship and modern appointments that have made DW drums a favorite among professionals. Finished in a sleek black nickel coating, this 14" x 5.5" snare delivers a versatile voice with plenty of attack, warmth, and projection for everything from studio sessions to live performances.

The rolled brass shell produces a powerful yet musical tone with excellent articulation and dynamic response. Whether tuned high for crisp snap or lower for a fat backbeat, this snare remains responsive and expressive across a wide tuning range. DW’s premium hardware and professional-level features ensure smooth tuning stability and reliable performance night after night.
