DW Performance 14x5.5 Snare Drum — Hard Satin American Rust Finish

The DW Performance Series brings professional-grade construction and tone to a versatile snare platform. This 14-inch by 5.5-inch model features DW's signature HVX shell design paired with a striking Hard Satin American Rust lacquer finish—a Drum Center of Portsmouth exclusive. Hand-crafted with meticulous attention to tuning response and articulation, this snare delivers the clarity and projection you expect from DW's legacy of drum engineering.

Built with DW heads by Remo USA and precision 45-degree back-cut bearing edges, the drum tunes smoothly across its range and produces consistent, controlled tone. The new Quarter Turret lugs and updated badge reinforce DW's commitment to quality while maintaining the aesthetic appeal that sets these drums apart on stage and in the studio.
