The standard from which all other DW snare drums are measured, the Collector’s Series Maple is crafted from only the finest hand-selected North American maple and customized in any California Custom Shop finish and drum hardware color option. Each 10-ply drum is fitted with a 6-ply reinforcement hoop and our 60-degree bearing edge for optimal resonance and attack. A lacquered interior adds brightness to a snare with a full tonal spectrum and plenty of body. The Collector’s Series Maple is the definitive workhorse wood snare drum to own.

Its shell is crafted from a solid 10-ply sandwich of choice Maple reinforced by a 6-ply Maple hoop that adds even more stability to the drum, resulting in increased tuning consistency. The shell also features 60-degree bearing edges for optimal head to shell contact which enhances levels of resonance and attack.
