DW Acoustic EQ Snare Drum

It’s the workhorse snare that’s a must-have for every working drummer.

So, what is the Acoustic EQ snare drum? To start with, it’s a 6x14” Collector’s Series® 10-ply all-maple snare drum with a 6-ply reinforcement hoop. The drum is finished in your choice of Collector's Ebony, Natural or Red Satin Oil. It features heavy-gauge flanged counterhoops, True-Tone® snare wires and the smooth-operating Delta ball-bearing throw-off. Available in all four drum hardware color options.*

What really makes this snare drum special is that it has the Acoustic EQ technology built right in. It’s an advanced, yet extremely easy to operate, venting system that enables drummers to variably control the amount of air leaving the drum via a series of precision-cut gates that are integrated into the shell. The result is a drastic change in tone that is amplified when close-miked. Best of all, both rows of narrow vents may be independently adjusted to achieve the desired sound and feel. Open it up for a dry crack or close it off completely for a thick bottom end. It’s a revolutionary concept that already has some of the world’s top pros talking.
