Sound Pure's Take

The DW Edge snare drum is THE hybrid snare drum. Fusing metal and maple together, DW has taken drum building to a new level! The foundation of the shell is two pieces of chrome plated brass rings on both ends of a 10 ply maple shell segment. The brass pieces are roughly 3/8" thick bringing this drum to a hefty 19lbs. DW Edge snare drums have been a favorite for their sonic possibilities. By combining the crack of brass and the warmth of the maple, the Edge snare drum delivers control and snap in a multitude of tuning ranges.

From DW Drums

The patented Edge offers a sound that no other snare drum can equal. A mixture of metal alloy with either a 10-ply or solid maple center, it gives drummers plenty of versatility for a multitude of playing situations. Cork it up for R&B and Hip Hop, or tune it low for Rock or studio recordings. The Edge is the best of metal and wood in one drum. Metal Edge rings are available in chrome or gold only, but lugs and other drum hardware can be mixed and matched for a unique, personalized look. The Edge center can also be finished in any Custom Shop finish.
