Drum Workshop, Inc. (DW) is excited to announce the launch of its Limited Edition 50th Anniversary DW Edge® Snare Drum, assembled by hand at DW’s California custom shop using the legendary tried and tested Edge® construction.

The patented DW Edge™ snare drum was developed by John Good in 1991. Known for its brightness, articulation, volume, attack and sensitivity it has become the go-to snare for a generation of drummers.

The new Limited Edition 50th Anniversary DW Edge® Snare is constructed using a 10-ply persimmon and spruce shell with an exotic quilted maple outer veneer finished with a commemorative maple and rosewood 50th Anniversary inlaid badge. Two heavy-duty brass Edge® rings complete this stunning snare drum which is shipped in a deluxe DW carrying bag.


DW will produce 100 of these special 6.5”x 14” Edge® snares. Each will include a signed certificate of authenticity and DW’s characteristic professional-grade features including antique gold hardware; DW 3.0 steel True-Hoops™, MAG Throw-Off™, 5P (5 position) Butt Plate™, True-Pitch 50™ tuning, True-Tone™ 20-strand snare wires and DW Drum Heads™ by Remo®.

DW sr. executive vice president and co-founder, John Good commented “The Edge® snare drum is everything DW – iconic sound, quality build and a character all of its own. The new 50th Anniversary snare is no exception, old school excellence, a contemporary look with timeless tone.”
