For drummers who demand both visual presence and uncompromising tone, the DW Collector’s Series 6.5” x 14” Satin Black Over Brass snare with gold hardware delivers a commanding blend of elegance and power — available now at Haggerty’s Music. This instrument takes the classic brass snare formula and elevates it with boutique craftsmanship and a striking aesthetic that stands out on any stage or in any studio.

At its core is a thin 1mm rolled brass shell, a time-tested design known for its bright, cutting attack and rich, musical overtones. The satin black finish adds a modern, understated look, while the gold-plated hardware provides a bold contrast that reflects its premium pedigree. Sonically, this drum offers the quintessential “studio brass” voice — articulate, dynamic, and versatile enough to handle everything from subtle ghost notes to explosive backbeats across genres like rock, jazz, and fusion.

Handcrafted in DW’s California Custom Shop, this snare is outfitted with top-tier hardware including the MAG throw-off, True-Pitch tuning rods, and triple-flanged hoops for an open, resonant feel. Built with precision and designed for performance, it’s a reliable workhorse that delivers consistent tuning, wide dynamic range, and unmistakable presence wherever it’s played.
