DW DR820614SSS101 Collectors Series SonicPly 14"x6" Snare
Satin Oil Natural with Satin Chrome Hardware
Maple meets metal. All the sonic versatility of Maple and Aluminum in one breakthrough shell design.
About SonicPly®
After two years of relentless development led by John Good, DW SonicPly® combines aircraft-grade aluminum with an American Maple shell for enhanced attack and articulation, offering warm tonality and focused sustain.
Hybrid Metal / Maple Shells
10" - 24" SonicPly® drums feature a 9-Ply 333™ Maple shell with a 1/36" Aluminum sheet replacing the middle ply. SonicPly® snare drums feature a 12-Ply Maple shell with two 1/36" Aluminum Sheets sandwiching the middle plies.
Bearing Edge
These Collector’s Series shells are precision-cut with 45-degree (toms) and 60-degree (bass and snare) bearing edges. These edges provide tonality and sustain from your toms, and depth and punch from your bass and snare.
Sound Comparison
Compared to the neutral tone of a Pure Maple 333 drum shell, the SonicPly® shell produces a higher pitch, brighter tone, and shorter sustain. Combining the warm resonance of Maple with the dry attack of Aluminum results in a bright and resonant but controlled and consistent drum sound perfect for touring and studio drummers alike.
Customization Options
Build a sound and look all your own with SonicPly® for any Collector’s Series® setup. Match warm and precise sonic performance with your dream dimensions and hand-applied finish, which will inspire you for years to come.
