A shell inspired by American drums of the '70s and '80s gives the DW Collector's Jazz snare a fat, dry sound that drummers love for Springsteen to Coltrane. A soft gumwood core provides the classic warmth and round tone you'll recognize from some of your favorite records. And cherry wood top plies give it cutting volume and luxurious looks. But the DW Collector's Jazz snare is more than just a pretty shell. True-Pitch rods, True Hoops, and True-Tone wires give this snare an untouchable tone right away.
