The DW Black Nickel over Brass snare features a 1mm brass shell plated with great-looking black nickel. It works well for most musical genres, and is a great go-to drum for when you want that classic, metallic brass sound. This drum also includes several of DW's high-end features, including:
- MAG Throwoff - A magnet keeps the throw locked in the engaged position, while just a slight tug will completely release it. Tension is easily adjusted with the horizontal knob.
- 3P Butt Plate - toggle between three different tension settings for different musical situations
- Heads - includes an Ambassador clear-crimped snare head and an Ambassador coated-crimped batter head with tuning marks, both single ply.
- Tru-Tone Snares - 20 strands of stainless steel coil with brass endplates
- Tru-Tone Hoops - 3.0mm, heavy, round, and flat with a rounded outer edge for head dampening and stick protection
- Stainless Steel Rods - these tension rods are made from extremely strong stainless steel, and have more threading than a typical rod for greater grip and less tuning loss.
