Item: DW Collector's Maple 333 Natural Lacquer over Moabi Snare Drum - SO#1435564 - Natural Lacquer over Moabi Exotic Veneer - Gold Hardware - 9-ply Maple 333 Shells - No Reinforcement Rings - Timbre Note: F# Size: - 6.5x14 Info: The most popular wood for drum making, maple is a hardwood that produces maximum resonance, projection and attack. Combined with reinforcement hoops, it can produce a more focused sound and is well suited for live and studio applications. Alterations in grain direction greatly influence sound. In a VLT™ shell, the outermost and innermost plies run vertically, rather than a traditionally horizontal configuration. The vertical grain places less tension on the shell, thus allowing it to vibrate more freely, resulting in a lower fundamental pitch. From VLT technology, 333 was born. This 9-ply VLT evolution also has no reinforcement hoops and produces a lower overall tone while still maintaining maximum resonance and attack. 333™ shells are available only in Collector's Series® Pure Maple. Condition: This drum was taken out of its factory box, photographed, and then resealed in the original box.
