This is a DW Collectors Series snare drum, a representative snare drum from DW. The shell is a 1mm thick brass shell, and the non-glossy satin black finish is a new lineup that DW hasn't had much of before. Compared to glossy finishes, it's less prone to dirt, and especially compared to chrome-plated snares, it's noticeably more resistant to rust, making it easier to maintain. The size is 14 inches x 5.5 inches, a standard and easy-to-use size. There are no issues with the hardware, including DW's signature MAG Throw Off strainer and the latest 5P Butt Plate. A REMO Coated Emperor batter head is installed, and it appears to be still usable as there is no peeling of the coating. The snare wires are DW's original ones, and they are also in good working order. DW instruments themselves have seen a significant price increase in recent years, so we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. The listing includes only the drum itself; the snare stand in the image is not included. The item will be packaged with bubble wrap and cardboard for shipping. The item has been maintained before listing, but please understand that it is a used item. Please check the images beforehand and purchase with a no-returns, no-claims, no-cancellation policy. This item is also listed elsewhere, and we may remove this listing depending on the situation. Thank you for your consideration.
