DW Snare Drums
Drum Workshop was founded in 1972 as a teaching studio by Don Lombardi. It originally offered private lessons and the occasional workshop. Lombardi, along with student (and current Senior Executive Vice President) John Good, began a small drum equipment sales operation to cover the facility's operation costs.
This operation soon created the first-ever DW product: The height-adjustable trap seat, which was envisioned by Lombardi.
The demand became so great that they expanded into drum hardware manufacturing, where the legendary 5000 series pedal was born.
Fast forward, DW is now the market leader in drums and is the most demanded drum by drummers, collectors, touring musicians and studios. Artists that represents the DW branding includes : Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Eric Hernandez (Bruno Mars), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Tico Torres (Bon Jovi) & many more,
Singapore Drums is pleased to be the exclusive distributor for DW Drums in Singapore.

DW Collector's Series Aluminium Wrinkle 14x6.5 Snare Drum
SGD960.00
Cast from heavy-gauge aluminum with an integrated reinforcement hoop, this is not the light weight aluminum snare from the past. This is bright, yet bottom heavy metal drum lacks a lot of the ping and metallic quality associated with brass and steel drums. Finished in a unique wrinkle coating, the drum can be complimented in any of five available drum hardware color options and can be customized with die cast hoops, if so desired.
Shell: Aluminium
Finish : Wrinkle
Hardware : Chrome
Size : 14 x 6.5
Features: DW Mag Throw Off and 3 Position Butt Plate
DW Collector's Series Bell Brass 14x6.5 Snare Drum (Out Of Stock)
SGD928.00
Cast from heavy-gauge brass alloy, this is heavier shell than most beaded-style brass snares. The sound is distinctively brass, but with more body and fatness at low mid range frequencies and a beautiful high end crack. Available in a polished brass finish. The drum can be customized in any of five Custom Shop drum hardware color options. Every drummer should own a brass snare for recording and live applications.
Shell : Bell Brass
Hardware : Chrome
Size : 14 x 6.5
Features: DW Mag Throw Off and 3 Position Butt Plate
DW Collector's Series Black Nickel Over Brass 14x6.5 Snare Drum
SGD720.00
Utilizing a thin industry-standard 1mm shell, and plated with sleek black nickel, the Collector's Series Black Nickel over Brass is a versatile workhorse snare.

DW Collector's Pure Cherry 14x6.5 Natural Satin Snare
SGD1,040.00
Rotary cut from hand-selected logs, DW Custom Shop Cherry is a very "musical" wood, which yields distinctive melodic clarity and a warmer tonality than maple. Combined with 2-ply heads, it appeals to drummers that prefer a punchy, round timbre.

DW Collector's VLT Maple Black Velvet 14x6.5 Snare
SGD990.00
VLT™ (Vertical Low Timbre)
In experimenting with different exotic woods as alternate shell making materials, DW's Custom Shell Shop discovered that in addition to the different tonal qualities inherent in every unique type of wood, alterations in grain direction can also greatly influence sound. In a VLT™ shell, the outermost and innermost plies run vertically, rather than a traditionally horizontal configuration. The vertical grain places less tension on the shell, allowing it to vibrate more freely, resulting in the lowered fundamental pitch. For those players who prefer a lower overall tone while still maintaining maximum resonance and attack, VLT™ can be ordered as an option on all Collector's Series® Pure drums.
Shell : VLT Maple
Finish : Black Velvet Finishply
Hardware : Chrome
Size : 14x6.5
Features: DW Mag Throw Off and 3 Position Butt Plate
