DW Performance Polished Copper Snare Drum 14x8 – Professional-Grade Snare with Versatile Tuning

The DW Performance Series Snare combines premium construction with professional playability. Built with a hand-polished 1mm copper shell, this 14x8 drum delivers a focused attack paired with darker, complex tonality—ideal for studio work and live performance. The polished finish offers a striking visual presence on stage while the refined shell composition ensures balanced sound projection across dynamic playing styles. Engineered for precision tuning, this snare features DW's TruePitch tension rods that minimize slippage and allow for fast, accurate pitch adjustments. The compact quarter-sized lugs reduce mass without sacrificing durability, while the signature MAG throw-off and 3-position butt plate system grants three distinct snare tensions from a single configuration—enabling you to dial in tight, medium, or loose responses on demand.
