collapse expand iconDescription

The DW MFG True-Cast snare drum is a limited snare drum built in collaboration between longtime DW artist and collector, Dave Elitch, and the DW R&D team. This one-of-a-kind snare drum is assembled in the legendary California Custom Shop.

The 14x5" snare features a sand-cast and machined bell bronze shell that offers a contoured interior shape ranging from 5 mm to the top and bottom edges to 3 mm at the center. The beefy drum delivers fat, low-end punch that does not choke out at any tuning.

The snare is fitted with True-Cast counter hoops, Mini Turret Lugs, Mini MAG throw off and True-Pitch tension rods, that were all machined from brass to exacting standards. The drum is capped off with a 20-strand True-Tone snare wires and Remo Ambassador single-ply snare heads with DW MFG logos.

Since only 100 snare drums will be produced, each handcrafted True-Cast will include a certificate of authenticity.

Also included is a limited-edition DW MFG flight case by Calzone that will protect the snare from the scrapes and in-transit wear from gigging.
