whether you're a drummer or not, you've got to enjoy these DW videos. The science behind the and the craftsmanship of making these instruments is fascinating.
i love this drum so much. i'm also really impressed with how much john good knows about every part of the process. great to know the company is run by a man who has such passion for drums
Reps at DW, PLEASE bring this drum back! The size is perfect, you could possibly use regular hardwood birch, but the thing that gets it for me are the SABIAN edge rings! Just...ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
I love how all your videos are over 10 minutes. It's so nice to go in depth with John Good and really get down to the facts of what makes this drum so great.
John Good! And he is a genius and we love him! The idea of re-using artists old cymbals was a great idea as apposed too anything else. Sabian being one of our favorite companies to work with, had the right idea!
Wow thanks so much! We enjoy what we do and we can only help it shows. We do our best to get to every customers inquires, questions, complaints or everything in between! Thanks again!
Being from Houlton in northern Maine(couple of hours from Moosehead Lake and about 30 minutes away from Sabian) this snare puts a HUGE smile on my face.
There have been discussions but most end in the fact that there are some really good case companies out there that can do the job for you. Very unique snare you have there!
Not neccesarily a DW man myself, I but I sure respect the hell out of you guys for the time and effort you put into this work. Kudos to Bruce Campbell, uh, I mean John Good ha.
+Derpmuffins The Great You can make your own drum kit from maple shells EQUALLY as good as a DW in quality by getting them at Precision Drum Co out of New York. Unlike DW Collectors series, you can decide your shell thickness for each shell, shell size for each shell (up to 28" diameter x 24" deep!) and lug style you like for way less than DW. Precision uses Keller shells and have the best bearing edges in the business. Often times people have actually sent their DW shells in to re-cut the bearing edges at Precision. I don't work or in any way have business dealings with Precision but I hear that they are the best to work with and stand behind the product and get your orders to you really fast. DW is over priced.
@105934124682693220761 I personally think that Gretsch Drums are the best on the market. They just have that amazingly distinct sound that no company has been able to reproduce. The quality they put in their kits is honestly one of a kind. But, as far as custom drum companies go, I am tied between C&C or Guru Drums.
geometricpatterns6 I've never been about Pearl. I respect their success, but it's just not the sound I'm looking for. Gretsch, Tama, and Ludwig have to be my three favourites.
The Gretsch Brooklyn series is really nice sounding. Tama's star bubingas in jazz sizes sound amazing and Ludwig's Legacy in Bonzo sizes are huge on a stage, Yeah I love those brands too.
Took the plunge and bought the one they had at Dales. I have every intention of playing mine @ select gigs. Can't wait until the UPS truck shows up tomorrow.
I'm not a DW player, and sincerely doubt I ever will be (my father played Ludwig, I learned on a Ludwig, my first set was a Ludwig, my current sets are Ludwig, etc etc lol), but John Goode is just so cool. I love how enthusiastic he gets about all his products.
I know it's been 10 mos but thank you from a DW player of more than twenty years. Lot's of hate for the DW brand these days. Ludwig is my runner up, but i really like every brands top tier. Play what you love and enjoy.
I like the DW stuff. I just don't want to either move it or pay for it... they DO have some incredible sounding snares, tho, also (don't even ask how much). I had the Vistalite. Their high end stuff makes my beloved 402 sound like a trash can. not that trash cans are bad. One of my favorite snares is the tiny one on the Sonor Martini kit. Doesn't even need a moongel. And the most you bash it, the better it sounds.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Ha, I have to agree with you. Just played a gig and the house drumset was a Sonor Martini kit. While the bass drum is akin to using a rack tom, that little snare is pretty sweet. Overall there's some music in that child size set.
I used to have a stainless steel covered set of Ludwigs which I recorded with, had a 24" bass drum. But I got rid of them because I thought they were too heavy to lug around to gigs. I sold them to a friend for 450 dollars, which was more than I paid for them but I wish I'd kept them. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
everyone needs to do their job,thnx to DW for inovations ...price its reasonable,"how long its your blanket, u will cover your feet that much"...expensive things are for those who deserve them...need to to grow up....
hey Tre!!! We are only making a limited run of these snares in just a 6x14 size. Sorry if this size doesn't work for you. We can make Edge snares in the size you like. Just not this one.
$8000 for a bell brass?!?! Whoah! :) We don't have enough cymbals for a whole kit made of bronze. We can get you a snare made of bronze though! We will stick with wood shells but thanks for the suggestion!
We would love for you to try it but this snare is most cases will be a special order or in limited stock for our dealers. You might have to call around your local dealer base to see if they're receiving one!
It should be made more clear...the cymbals that were melted to make these drums were broken Sabian artist cymbals. in other words, NO HEALTHY CYMBALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SNARE DRUM ;)
about $1200, but totally worth it. This is a collector's item, and the process and quality control are immaculate. Why won't Bozzio play the toms? he's got like 30 toms lol.
You mean like a Solid shell?? The Lake Birch we found was milled into a ply form for this snare. This was the best way to make use of the wood. Hope this helps!
I find myself in awe of the craftsmanship of everything you guys do. It really is amazing the amount of work you guys put into a single drum. I'm not sure any other mainstream drum company can compare with that. PLUS, which other drum company responds to just about every video comment on their RUclips? ;)
This Snare would be Sooo awesome in combo with an Eco-X Banana drumkit with Black-Chrome hardware ... that would be my dreamkit!! Pro Nature, Great Sound, but also pleasing for the eyes! for now my Xbox Rockband drumkit will have to do the job =D
I really appreciate the experimentation and many innovations in shell design and hardware that DW have accomplished. Companies that focus on quality over bottom line are very rare in business of any kind these days. DW equipment is very expensive and not for everyone but it is nice to have the choice of a quality product even if it comes at a high price. That being said, this snare drum although adventurous in design, does not hold a candle to ANY (old or new) brass shell Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum.
Awesome snare! The only Throw Off we have left that will fit your snare is our Swivel style. We do have a small stock left but only on Black and Satin Chrome. You local authorized DW dealer should be able to special order one for you. If not best call is check into Throw Off's with the same hole pattern distant. Thanks! locator(dot)dwdrums(dot)com/drum/cgi/index?mapid=World&design=default&lang=en&option=
hey Jo! We love to answer you! Please contact Moridaira about the availability of their stock of the Vault Edge. They just might be able to help you out!
That is true. Danny Carey has a 7-piece bronze kit (2xbass drums, 2xrack toms, 2xfloor toms, 1xsnare drum) custom made by Jeff Ocheltree. (Bonzo's drum tech among other things) For more information about it just google. :)
Thanks for choosing DW Fernando! Sorry to hear about your snare. Please take some pics of your snare and send them to our customer service guys at customerservice@dwdrums(dot)com. They will be able to assist you further! Thanks!
better late than never. I wonder how they BREAK a snare. I've seen pedals the cracked right at the hinge, too. I've had my 9000 series a good 15 years, back when they were 300.00 cheaper than now, and you got a tee shirt and a hard case. Minus a lil dog hair, they're like new. (my dog likes going in there. No idea why. Labs=gun dog=not afraid of drums)
Hey guys, I am finding myself extremely happy with the DW Copper 5.5 x 14 snare drum. Given those sound characteristics, could you put me in the right direction for the wood choice for the rest of a kit? Thanks

Whoever has the job of tuning the drums at DW has the best job.
Glad you think so! Thanks!
whether you're a drummer or not, you've got to enjoy these DW videos. The science behind the and the craftsmanship of making these instruments is fascinating.
It's fascinating so many people believe dw is innovating anything except marketing hype.
This right here, people, is why DW are the unequivocal leaders in drum manufacturing artistry.
What an exquisite instrument.
I always love how much John is involved with the drum making process. Probably one of the most passionate guys I've ever met about drum production.
i love this drum so much. i'm also really impressed with how much john good knows about every part of the process. great to know the company is run by a man who has such passion for drums
ProgGuy we are happy to have your feedback and have you watching the whole video all the way through! Thanks again!

Glad you are liking your 8x14 Performance Steel snare!
Being from Houlton in northern Maine(couple of hours from Moosehead Lake and about 30 minutes away from Sabian) this snare puts a HUGE smile on my face.
haha ok Bernardo! thanks for taking taking time out to watch our channel!
Ok! We appreciate your level of commitment to the Vault Edge!
Glad you are liking it!
The deffinition of a collector's item. Beautiful
You already had the tubes to make Sabian bell brass shells... I'd buy the hell out of one of those.
Thanks! The Edge snares always project and this Vault Edge is no exception!
OMG!! The sound of the rings!! Love this drum through and through! 💖
Yeah. Now put hardware of it. No more ring
Thing of beauty! The demo on Memphis drum shop sounds stunning!!
Yeah terry makes it sound like tinny poop (or the recording does)
Alright! Thanks for choosing the Vault Edge!!
Respectfully noted. :) Thanks for appreciating the idea though! We are always trying to push forward!
We appreciate your enthusiasm!
Perfect combo for you! Thanks for choosing DW!!
Marketing department in overdrive.
Overhype

I have a top edge snare on order, should be ready very soon. It's like a kid in a candy store and I'm looking forward to playing the snare.
This is what I love about the DW videos, educational!!! I would love to work at that company.
Love the sound of the snare. It really pops
Nice! We'll put the order in right now! Sorry for the delay! :)
DW is a great company. Too bad it costs a first born child and soul to get a Collector Series kit.

Guru only makes about 25 kits a year. Gretsch USA is nice though expensive. Pearl Masterworks are much better.

never stop doing it! you guys are awesome!
Birch Rules! My favorite wood in the world of Drums.
Send it to this guy! Haha! We appreciate your enthusiasm very much!

Ryan...Two American made drums. Ludwig and DW! Love both!

Although he is a busy guy we are sure he would enjoy that!
I never knew someone could explain the making of a Drum that way.
everyone needs to do their job,thnx to DW for inovations ...price its reasonable,"how long its your blanket, u will cover your feet that much"...expensive things are for those who deserve them...need to to grow up....
Wow the sound is so unique and amazing
Sorry for the confusion! It is in fact 11 plies!
hey Tre!!! We are only making a limited run of these snares in just a 6x14 size. Sorry if this size doesn't work for you. We can make Edge snares in the size you like. Just not this one.

glad you are!
Not a bad idea! Zildjian has great stuff!
Seeing those cymbals being melted almost made me want to cry.
Thanks for that!
HAHAHA!! This made our Friday. Thanks!
We would love for you to try it but this snare is most cases will be a special order or in limited stock for our dealers. You might have to call around your local dealer base to see if they're receiving one!

Just my wallet hook me up with a set bro lol
Thanks for watching!
would dw and sabian continue their relationship to make more vault snares. I would LOVE a 14x8 vault snare. ooooooo that would be so cool
Great to hear!! Well as you know we have plenty of shell options. What type of music are you playing mostly??
Sure! Anywhere in the world is just fine with us!
about $1200, but totally worth it. This is a collector's item, and the process and quality control are immaculate. Why won't Bozzio play the toms? he's got like 30 toms lol.
AWESOME! Congrats! Indeed, that drum should not just be treated as a pretty face. Glad to hear you're going to play it for the people :)
Not totally sure but we are always thinking of something!
Thanks for thinking the Vault Edge is nice!
You mean like a Solid shell?? The Lake Birch we found was milled into a ply form for this snare. This was the best way to make use of the wood. Hope this helps!
We'll see!
Really love this snare! I think it would fit in nicely with my DW/Sabian Artisan Collection. :)
When I see Bozzio I'm gone.
They wanted an artist that already played melted down broken cymbals to test it lol
Dw is all hype
Stock Fadi it’s collectors for people who collect master pieces. Not for everyone. Dw is much more then hype
I find myself in awe of the craftsmanship of everything you guys do. It really is amazing the amount of work you guys put into a single drum. I'm not sure any other mainstream drum company can compare with that. PLUS, which other drum company responds to just about every video comment on their RUclips? ;)
That just might be the most mental drumkit I've ever seen 😂
Oh god. It's beautiful.
man,thats beautiful
We are here for you! Haha!
he's a happy camper!
Aw thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
I will go to Moridaira.
Sorry to hear that! Maybe we are talking about the the nut that receives the tension rod? What country are you in??
This Snare would be Sooo awesome in combo with an Eco-X Banana drumkit with Black-Chrome hardware ... that would be my dreamkit!! Pro Nature, Great Sound, but also pleasing for the eyes!

A limited run for sure! Best to check with your local authorized DW drums dealer and go from there!
Happy Birthday 100 Videos !
Yall should make some of these with free-floated, virgin shells.
nooo, i want it but i'm too poor :D
love you DW and Sabian!
very great job, you must select the drummer who buy this snare!!!
Awesome snare! The only Throw Off we have left that will fit your snare is our Swivel style. We do have a small stock left but only on Black and Satin Chrome.

Sure! Logistically it doesn't work very well with the Edge Rings on a 8 ply shell(or less) though. The thinner shells will not hold up well enough.

Holy shit.. It sounds like a drum.
