This DW Exotic Edge snare is a real departure – it's got that classic maple warmth but with a surprisingly cutting, almost brassy edge thanks to those heavy hoops. It’s fantastic for players seeking a unique voice, particularly those in jazz, studio, or any genre where nuanced articulation is key. Be prepared for a hefty drum, though!

Frequently Asked Questions
It's warmer than a brass snare, but the brass hoops add a distinct brightness and attack that a standard maple snare wouldn't have.
The Angel Pearls are a cosmetic finish; they are susceptible to wear and tear with heavy playing and stick choice, but DW’s clear coat provides some protection.
Yes, the combination of the maple shell and brass hoops makes it significantly heavier than many other snares; this can be fatiguing for extended playing sessions.
