The DW Concept Maple Snare Drum with Wood Hoops is a stylish all-purpose drum that has a slightly warmer and tighter sound than a maple drum would have with regular triple-flanged hoops.
Maple is one of the most common materials for drums, creating a sound with an even balance of high and low overtones. This makes it effective for a variety of styles and a variety of tunings. Wood hoops tighten the sound by lowering the fundamental pitch of the drum, shortening the overall resonance, and reducing the number of overtones, but has a slightly smaller affect on the overall sound than the material of the drum itself.
This combination of thick, 20-ply maple and wood hoops will give you the options that come with a maple drum, but with a boxier sound and a lower pitch. This is good to limit any annoying overtones and add clarity to your sound.
This snare drum comes with Chrome Dualturret Lugs and a DW MAG Throw-Off.
