More dense than oak, purple heart is a unique and seriously powerful tonewood. This DW DRU5714057 Collector's Series Edge snare drum not only possesses purple heart’s exemplary projection and punch, but also further augments these characteristics by adding brass alloy rings around the shell’s top and bottom. There’s only one thing that Sweetwater drummers have found to be just as striking as this drum’s rimshot: its appearance. Gold hardware rests regally atop a gorgeous Silver Blue Sparkle Lacquer finish. With a unique sound for the studio and a unique look for the stage, this DW DRU5714057 Collector's Series Edge snare makes a worthwhile addition to any drum set or snare drum roster.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


DW Drums give you the edge





DW Collector’s Series Edge snare drums start with a solid or 10-ply shallow wood center shell, which is fitted on either side with a top and bottom metal alloy ring (usually made of brass, though steel and other materials are available). This tonal combination provides you with the warm tone of wood plus the sheering projection of metal. Completed by DW’s unmatched finish options, DW Collector’s Series Edge snare drums offer what many Sweetwater drummers consider the ultimate blend of tone, attack, and visual aesthetics.
