The PDP by DWConcept Series 1.2mm Natural Satin Brushed Aluminum snare drum gives you a bright, articulate tone in an innovative aluminum shell. Designed for drummers seeking a dry, focused sound with musical overtones, its rolled and double-beaded 1.2mm aluminum shell provides a round attack and balanced resonance. You'll appreciate the stylish satin finish and high-quality hardware including dual-turret lugs, a MAG throw-off and True-Pitch tuning rods.

Cutting-Edge Aluminum Shell

The Concept Series snare drum's 1.2mm aluminum shell offers an exciting tonal alternative to steel. While aluminum provides a similar cutting attack, its resonance decays much faster for a controlled sound with rich overtones. The shell's rolled and double-beaded construction enhances rigidity for dynamic sensitivity and projection. With its brushed satin finish, this aluminum shell is as visually stunning as it is sonically innovative.

Premium Hardware for Total Control

To complement its high-tech shell, this snare drum features professional-level hardware for precision tuning and adjustment. The dual-turret lugs provide solid shell attachment and support. DW's acclaimed True-Pitch tuning rods allow you to quickly tune each drumhead to your preferred pitch. For on-the-fly snare adjustment, DW's patented MAG throw-off lets you tighten or loosen snare wires with a quick flick of the lever.

Modern Features, Timeless Appeal

While the Concept Series snare embraces modern trends like alternative metal shells and high-end parts, its design has a touch of retro style. The hand-brushed finish and minimal chrome hardware give a nod to vintage drums of the past. It blends contemporary concepts with a classic spirit that transcends genre or era. This blend of old and new creates an instrument with its own unique character that sounds as great as it looks.
