Overview

A walnut snare drum with full tone and quick decay.

There’s something unmistakable about walnut, and this snare showcases it beautifully. The DW Pure Walnut snare drum introduces a new tonal landscape for drummers who value character and handcrafted quality. Each shell is made from pure walnut and built in the DW California Custom Shop using VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) shell technology. The result is a snare that delivers a deep, musical sound with a shorter note than traditional maple or birch drums. A hand-applied Satin Quick Ebony Burst finish and DW’s robust hardware complete the package with visual impact and dependable performance for stage or studio use.

VLT Shell Technology Shapes Unique Tone

DW’s VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) process orients each walnut ply vertically, lowering the drum’s fundamental pitch. This construction produces a focused, full-bodied sound with a naturally shorter note than traditional horizontal grain shells. By controlling sustain while preserving resonance, VLT shells deliver clear articulation and punch that translates well in both live performance and recording environments. The result is a distinctive walnut voice with strong definition and a tight, musical decay.

Features

  • Pure walnut shell offers focused attack with a short sustain for clarity
  • VLT shell construction brings out low-end punch and warmth
  • Hand-applied Satin Quick Ebony Burst finish resists wear on tour
  • True-Hoops give a solid rimshot and keep tuning stable
  • True Pitch 50 tension rods allow for precise, incremental tuning
  • MAG throw-off provides quick snare release for fast changes
  • 5-position butt plate lets you set snare tension for different songs
  • Handcrafted in California Custom Shop for consistent build quality

Rich walnut character and a focused response give the DW Pure Walnut snare drum a voice that holds its ground in any setting.
