May Acoustic EQ Snare Drum

Designed in conjunction with Randall May, the patented Acoustic EQ snare drum is several drums in one. The secret is a venting system that allows drummers to select the exact amount of air leaving the drum via an internal slide valve. Not only does the EQs venting system drastically affect the sound, but also its feel and response. The drum features our Collectors 10 + 6 maple shell configuration and can be ordered in any Custom Shop Satin Oil finish and drum hardware color option.

Availability: 6x14"

Hey DW, I got a question that I really need your help with. I'm considering between an Acoustic EQ and Super solid snare 14 x 5.5 1/2". I currently have a Pearl Reference 14 x 5 20 ply wood snare. But it doesn't give me the depth I want because it's just 5". Out of the 2 which would give more depth without losing the crack? And is the acoustic eq really worth the extra money?

@drummerboycaleb Great question! The Super Solid will have all the crack you are needing with warmth of the solid maple shell. The EQ is different because you can control the amount of air leaving the snare making it more of a few different types of snares in one. Both will do the job but if you are looking for a more specific sound go with the Super Solid. Hope that helps!

@drummerboycaleb i have a dw 14x7 edge snare drum and that give a lot of depth and alot of crack :)

@drums0012 Nice! Glad the Edge is working for you. :)

What snare does he uses on last janes album?, sounds awesome.

[DrumWorkshopInc]

@ricardoieci Well that's a tough questions because Steven's has quite a collection of snare drums but most recently he ordered a 6.5X14 Stainless Steel snare. Sorry we couldn't be more specific. :(

Isn't this the same as Odery Drums AC snare they have been making for over a decade?

[drummerbill2001]

Nice.

@baronofhell08 Bronze EQ with die cast hoops?!? That sounds sweet! As of right now we have no plans ofmaking an EQ in a metal snare but we appreciate the suggestion. I' guessing that birch is a possibility though. The EQ snare is pretty difficult to assemble as it is with Maple but you never now...maybe coming soon.

Hello, would this drum be available in other materials such as steel, brass, bronze, birch, etc. in the future? And would it be availiable in other sizes? My dream snare would be a 14x7 knurled bronze eq with die-cast hoops.
