In developing a maple snare with dimensions derived by Archimedes himself and used by ancient civilizations for the past 2,000 years, John Good and DW may have accidentally stumbled upon the resonant frequency of the cosmos. Either that or this snare just sounds really, really good. The DW Collector's Pi maple snare drum's depth may not be accurate down to 25 decimal places, but it is articulate enough to give you fathomless definition in a crowded mix. The Pi snare's piccolo-like depth supplies an extra-wide tuning range; crank it up for that familiar extra-crispy snap, or tune it low for a meaty bottom-end response. The Collector's Pi snare drum is built from select plies of North American hard rock pure maple for a musical sophistication and hard-hitting attack. On the hardware end, you'll find the latest developments from the California Custom Shop in the DW Collector's Pi maple snare, including robust 3mm True-Hoops, a fast and quiet Mini-MAG throw off with 3-position 3P butt plate, and a heaping handful of DW's beloved Mini Dual-Receiver Turret lugs. There's even a special Pi badge to commemorate this one-of-a-kind snare. All told, this DW Collector's snare from Sweetwater is a recipe for superlative tone and satisfying performance from the stage to the studio.
