(Includes Drum, DrumLink™ Hub & Soundworks™ Software)
At CymbalFusion.com, we’ve always loved DW’s obsession with perfection — and the DWe 5x10 Snare Drum is the clearest example yet of where acoustic tradition meets tomorrow’s technology. Built right alongside DW’s top-tier Collector’s shells in California, this snare carries that unmistakable DW warmth and punch, now paired with cutting-edge wireless electronic control that feels natural, fast, and fully alive.
No shortcuts here — the shell is Pure North American Hard Rock Maple, crafted with DW’s 333™ ply orientation(horizontal, vertical, diagonal). That subtle engineering gives the drum its focused tone and crisp attack, while the 5x10 profile keeps it tight, responsive, and musical across any style. Chrome turret lugs, triple-flanged hoops, and a digiMAG™ throw-off that works seamlessly in both acoustic and e-mode.
This isn’t a “sampled” imitation — it’s the real shell, wired invisibly for full DrumLink™ wireless control. Pop on the included mesh head, pair it with the DW Soundworks™ software, and the snare instantly transforms into a fully dynamic electronic instrument. Every strike, ghost note, and cross-stick responds with pressure-sensitive realism, pitch bend, and ultra-low latency that’s honestly hard to tell apart from acoustic play.
The included Soundworks™ license gives you access to DW’s own multi-layered, high-definition drum samples — all recorded from real DW kits. You can fine-tune, layer, and expand your sound library with factory presets or additional sound packs, keeping your setup as versatile as your playing style.
This isn’t just a practice pad that looks like a DW — it is a DW. The fact that it can switch between full acoustic tone and wireless electronic control makes it one of the most flexible instruments we’ve seen come through the shop. Whether you’re recording at home, performing live, or building your dream DWe rig, this snare sets the bar for what “hybrid” really means.
