Malaysian blackwood is a very rare species that is a true ebony in the Diospyros genus whose price and scarcity mirror that of other, more well-known ebonies (such as Gaboon, Mun, and Macassar). It is a rich, very dark brown hue with beautiful, jet-black figuring. This drum was created from ten year dried Malaysian blackwood. 

This 6.25 x 14” snare has contrasting brass lugs, tension rods and 3mm triple flanged hoops and a gold DW Mag throw off/5 position butt plate. Bearing edges are 45 degrees with an 1/8” roundover and wide, shallow snare beds. It comes equipped with Evans heads and PureSound 30 strand snares.
