If you are on the fence about this drum. Just get it. It is a beautiful drum. Fit and finish is perferct. Tunes up really nice. I read reviews and watched videos and they just dont do it justice. This drum sounds and looks amazing. Its nice and heavy too. I got this from zZounds and shipping was really quick. Packaged very well. It was listed as blemished but i could only find one tiny scratch. I am truly happy with this snare drum. If there were ten stars i would give it ten.

I’m much older and greyer to start drumming than many: 1 year into drumming as of now. Yes I remember the 80’s metal roots. And even some of the 70’s disco, funk, acid rock, etc. Lol. The point is I’m old and new and love all kinds of music genres. So as a total new b… I added the DW Design series black nickel/brass 5 1/2 x 14 as my 1st add-on to 7pc Tama SSclassic (maple burst) I got a year ago to begin my drumming. ZZOUNDS definitely accommodated me last year and now.

Quality
It’s pretty rugged. It’s Nickel and Brass !
Value
Value is what you consider. To me it’s a slight more than I wanted to splurge on. Big shout to zZounds assisting my drumming experience!! And I know anything gets hobby/habit forming and the price and quality always has more levels. This to me seems like a remarkable value.
The Wow Factor
That chrome DW hardware is just silky shiny… and not on black or starburst or anything but simple grey; a gorgeous magnetic color scheme for the eyes. The wow appeal is in this drum! Along with really nice lower punch than the other snare tuned a bit higher for crack & snap. The 2 sounds—- wow! Very nice snare DW !
Musical Background:
