DW 14 x 6.5 Collector's Series BRASS SNARE DRUM with new Remo Weatherking Coated CS Batter Head

[@Paneeks1960]

That is one beautifully sounding snare drum. It sounds like you are getting a nice fat tone without hearing any of the high tint sound. Even when you play that lightly I can hear the depth to that drum. You are really fortunate to have such a nice drum set. Good luck with heads~ Rob/Boston

I just got mine it's an incredible drum, I put an emperor x on the batter and ambassador snare side on the resonant head. You can also use a regular ambassador 14 clear on the bottom as they're stronger than snare side and you can tune higher and will give the drum a pop sound, also used puresound custom pro steel snare wires on mine and the crack was awesome! Plus the three position butt plate is killer too. Happy drumming dude!

Thanks for that, I appreciate it. I will try that! When I'm happy with it I may shoot another video!!! Cheers, Ade.

DW drums are a thing of beauty man, nice one! I didn't know you played drums, we need to get a VC band going or something! ;)

This is a beautiful sounding DW drum. 6.5 X 14 snare drums are awesome. The snares sound too loose though. I would tighten the snares to the resonant side of the head enough to where the sound of the snares is right. I don't choke the snares on my snare drum. Anyway, cool video Ade!

[@pudsi]

I have! They are very good and very expensive!!! Cheers, Ade.

[@motorcitydeadman]

nice drum, man! Have you heard the American made Noble & Cooley brand? Those are awesome!

[@JCordoba1001]

used maybe or models from 2006-2011. The reference brass 14x5 is going for $900 while the 14x6.5 is going for $990

[@motorcitydeadman]

Cool! Yeah, I got mine for $600 USD, which was 27 years ago! I don't even know how much they go for now! lol. :D

[@davidcurtis4478]

Try an Evans G1 on top and an Evans Hazy 200 on bottom ;) David Curtis Drumming

[@mkd69r]

snare side needs tightening and a thicker batter.. emperor x/powerstroke 3

[@joshuachan56]

Not really... The Reference maple are around $900, but the steel and brass are around $700.

[@pudsi]

Like the DW, the Pearl Reference also has a 3mm Shell. The Pearl is very slightly cheaper than the DW. As for being "better", there's is no difference whatsoever!

[@leivabernie]

the reference is like $960 man. I wish it was cheaper than the DW lol

[@drummermikerocks1]

sorry. my cousin is so naive. yeah they're both fantastic drums.

[@JCordoba1001]

not even. the pearl reference in 14x6.5 goes for $900 now The dw goes for about $600 without the die cast hoops. and agreed, there is no difference!

[@boxeriain]

DW sounds far better!

[@drummermikerocks1]

the pearl reference brass snare is 100x better then this one.
