The DW 6.5x14 Black Nickel Over Brass Collector's Series Snare Drum sports one of the most coveted metal combinations in a snare presented with the peerless construction this company is known for. Built with a 1mm seamless brass shell with a black nickel coating, the darker character and crisp crack make this a solid choice whether you're on the stage or in the studio. Deeper in profile and striking in appearance, this model will be as much of a complement to a jazz setup as to a doom metal or latin setup.
