DW Collector's Series Maple/Spruce Natural Satin Oil 14x8 Snare Drum (SDS Anniversary Promo)
DW's Maple/Spruce drums are alive with rich, warm tone, punch, and projection. The 8" depth gives this drum a very fat bottom end and volume, and sits right at home in studios and arena shows alike.
Spruce has been used for decades as a notable guitar tonewood, and lends that warmth to drums in a way that's sure to turn heads at your next gig.
Spruce brings the pitch down slightly, and allows an excellent resonance that doesn't get "maxed out" at higher volumes, and retains the perfect amount of sensitivity to still unleash wholesome tone with a softer touch. This snare pairs that character with maple for a warmth, richness, projection, and resonant presence that "ups the ante" of the massive versatility maple is already known for.
