SUPER SOLID

The Super Solid is one of our most important snare drum innovations in recent years. Utilizing a proprietary molecular compression process, wood is specially treated to greatly increase density, while at the same time make it more pliable. Once the shells are formed in to cylinders, a high-tech machining process ensures that the drum is true, both inside and out, and a reinforcement hoop is integrated. The Super Solid truly is a one-piece shell in every way and can be customized in any Custom Shop finish and drum hardware color option. Orchestral sensitivity, shotgun-like projection and plenty of recording quality warmth and tone, the Super Solid is perhaps our most sought after snare drum.

Availability: 4.5x13", 4.5x14", 4.5x15", 5.5x13", 5.5x14", 5.5x15"
in Shell Thicknesses 3/8", 1/2", 3/4"


SUPER SOLID EDGE™

Taking inspiration from our patented Edge™ snare drum and our newest Super Solid shell technology, we proudly present the Super Solid Edge. Available in 13" and 14" diameters in a variety of depths, the Super Solid Edge can be customized by mixing and matching Maple, Walnut, Red Oak, and Cherry rings to create a multi-layered solid shell masterpiece. Offered in any DW Custom Shop finish, drum hardware color and option.
