DW 14"x5,5" Design Workhorse SD

I usually think DW are overpriced drums but I was in the market for a shallow brass snare and I came across this. It sounded great on online videos so I took a chance as the price to sound ratio piqued my interest. Tuned up it sounds great. A little dryer than expected but a lovely brass drum. The magnetic throw is great too. My only gripe with it was that the tuning lugs felt a bit stiff when tuning the resonant head high. These are Chinese made so at that price they had to skimp on quality somewhere. So to sum up, great sound for the price, the lugs don't feel high quality so that's why I deducted a star
