DW MFG LeftCast Snare Drum 14 x 5 in.

The DW MFG LeftCast snare drum provides a unique twist on a classic design. This limited-edition snare features a sand-cast bronze shell with a contoured 3-5mm interior profile that delivers a warm, fat tone with pronounced low end and open highs. The LeftCast snare is fitted with True-Cast steel hoops, lugs and throw-off for enhanced resonance and durability. With a story behind its "left-handed" origins and stellar DW craftsmanship, this professional-quality snare offers an inspiring musical experience for any drummer. Sand-Cast Bronze Shell Resonates Freely At the heart of the LeftCast snare is a sand-cast bronze shell that produces a full, resonant tone with rich overtones. The shell's 3-5mm thickness varies for an interior contour that opens the drum's sound. The bronze material resonates freely for warm, fat depth and shimmering highs. This shell delivers a signature tone that cuts through mixes and inspires your creativity. True-Cast Steel Hardware Rings True To enhance the shell and differentiate it from the original TrueCast snare, DW opted for steel for the hoops, lugs, and throw-off. The True-Cast steel hoops are both lightweight and robust, improving resonance and sensitivity. The Mini-Turret lugs, previously solid brass, are now made of steel, as is the MAG throw-off, ensuring a crisp snare response. Even the tension rods have been replaced with steel ones. Collectively, these components are tonally harmonized with the bronze shell, resulting in a unified sound that resonates authentically. Limited Edition With Inspiring Story Only 25 LeftCast snares were crafted, making each a rare find. But beyond their limited number, these snares have a story to tell. An "accident" in the manufacturing process resulted in the shells being "left-handed" or opposite the standard orientation. Rather than scrap them, DW chose to build a special run of left-handed snares. Now you can own a piece of DW history and channel the creativity that sprang from an unforeseen circumstance. Professional Performance and Sound In every way, the LeftCast snare delivers professional-grade performance for serious drummers. With its premium shell and components, this snare projects a full-bodied, expressive tone that inspires your best playing. The throw-off and steel hoops give you control and sensitivity. And the snare's one-of-a-kind left-handed story will spark your creativity every time you sit behind it. For a drum with history, tone and soul, the DW MFG LeftCast snare is in a class by itself.
