The patented DW EDGE® offers a sound that no other snare drum can equal. A mixture of metal alloy with either a 10-ply or solid maple center, it gives drummers plenty of versatility for a multitude of playing situations. Cork it up for R&B and Hip Hop, or tune it low for Rock or studio recordings. The DW EDGE® is the best of metal and wood in one drum. Metal DW EDGE® rings are available in chrome or gold only, but lugs and other drum hardware can be mixed and matched for a unique, personalized look. The DW EDGE® center can also be finished in any Custom Shop finish.
