Crafted from select Heartwood Birch, the Collector’s Series Birch snare drum provides all of the attack and bright tonality you’d expect from birch. The 10-ply shell without reinforcement hoop is loud and open, with a higher midrange that’s perfect for a variety of musical situations. A 60-degree bearing and host of DW high-end features make the Collector’s Birch a must for any serious snare drum collection.
