DW Performance Polished Copper Snare Drum 14x6.5

DW Performance Series 14x6.5 Polished Copper Snare Drum

Built on DW's proven Performance Series platform, this 14x6.5 snare drum combines professional-grade construction with responsive, versatile tone. The 1mm polished copper shell delivers a focused attack with warm, complex overtones—ideal for drummers seeking balanced articulation without excessive brightness. Copper's naturally darker character makes this drum equally at home in studio sessions and live performance settings, where its polished finish commands visual presence on stage. Every component is engineered for playability and consistency. The Performance quarter-sized lugs keep the shell unobstructed for maximum resonance, while TruePitch tension rods reduce slippage during play and tuning adjustments. DW's signature MAG throw-off and 3P butt plate system offer three independent snare tensions accessible with a single flip—giving you quick access to tight, medium, and loose configurations without re-tuning.
