The DW MFG LeftCast snare drum provides a unique twist on a classic design. This limited-edition snare features a sand-cast bronze shell with a contoured 3-5mm interior profile that delivers a warm, fat tone with pronounced low end and open highs. The LeftCast snare is fitted with True-Cast steel hoops, lugs and throw-off for enhanced resonance and durability. With a story behind its “left-handed” origins and stellar DW craftsmanship, this professional-quality snare offers an inspiring musical experience for any drummer.
At the heart of the LeftCast snare is a sand-cast bronze shell that produces a full, resonant tone with rich overtones. The shell’s 3-5mm thickness varies for an interior contour that opens the drum’s sound. The bronze material resonates freely for warm, fat depth and shimmering highs. This shell delivers a signature tone that cuts through mixes and inspires your creativity.
To enhance the shell and differentiate it from the original TrueCast snare, DW opted for steel for the hoops, lugs, and throw-off. The True-Cast steel hoops are both lightweight and robust, improving resonance and sensitivity. The Mini-Turret lugs, previously solid brass, are now made of steel, as is the MAG throw-off, ensuring a crisp snare response. Even the tension rods have been replaced with steel ones. Collectively, these components are tonally harmonized with the bronze shell, resulting in a unified sound that resonates authentically.
Only 25 LeftCast snares were crafted, making each a rare find. But beyond their limited number, these snares have a story to tell. An “accident” in the manufacturing process resulted in the shells being “left-handed” or opposite the standard orientation. Rather than scrap them, DW chose to build a special run of left-handed snares. Now you can own a piece of DW history and channel the creativity that sprang from an unforeseen circumstance.
In every way, the LeftCast snare delivers professional-grade performance for serious drummers. With its premium shell and components, this snare projects a full-bodied, expressive tone that inspires your best playing. The throw-off and steel hoops give you control and sensitivity. And the snare’s one-of-a-kind left-handed story will spark your creativity every time you sit behind it. For a drum with history, tone and soul, the DW MFG LeftCast snare is in a class by itself.
