DW Snare Drums
Drum Workshop was founded in 1972 as a teaching studio by Don Lombardi. It originally offered private lessons and serves as an 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 represent the DW brand includes : Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Eric Hernandez (Bruno Mars), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Tico Torres (Bon Jovi) and many more.
Singapore Drum Shop is pleased to be the exclusive distributor for DW Drums in Singapore.

DW Collector's VLT Maple Black Velvet 14x6.5 Snare (Out Of Stock)
SGD 1,080.00
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
