Pre-tensioned Snare Bridge





DW's patented Snare Bridge draws inspiration from a celebrated design of the early 1960s. This adjustable cast metal snare rail is pretensioned with DW True-Tone snare wires that sit perfectly flush against the bottom head. This gives the Super-Sonic a sensitivity that rivals some of the finest concert snares money can buy.

Taking another page from history's playbook, the DW Super-Sonic boasts a solid shell of 1/2" hard rock maple, for incredible resonance to match its elevated sensitivity.
