Whether you're building out your LowPro shell pack or experimenting with new textures around the kit, this 12" DW Performance Series LowPro snare drum scratches the itch. Its 3" x 12" size is the height of portability. Its US-made DW maple shell cuts clear as a bell, and real DW hardware ? hoops, lugs, badges, and tension screws ? lend this drum its industry-leading looks and playability. What's especially cool about the LowPro snare is that it's convertible. Remove the snare mechanism, and in seconds, the LowPro snare becomes a 12" tom ? the better to flesh out fills and fill in tuning gaps. Packed in a cymbal bag or tucked under your arm, the DW LowPro snare brings performer-approved portability to a gig near you.

12" convertible snare/tom





The LowPro 12" snare converts to a tom for even greater flexibility around the kit.





Delmar FinishPly wrap





Every inch of the LowPro snare's Delmar-sourced FinishPly wrap is glued and heated to the shell, thereby becoming a ply itself and adding tone, rather than inhibiting the shell as some wraps can do.





Made in the USA





Like the rest of the DW Performance series, the LowPro snare drum is handbuilt in DW's Oxnard, California plant. For pro performance and portability, look no further than the DW LowPro series from Sweetwater.
