DW MFG TrueCast 4x14 Bell Bronze Piccolo Snare Drum DRVZ0414STZ – Focused Power and Fast Response

The DW MFG True-Cast 4x14 Piccolo Snare Drum (DRVZ0414STZ) is a limited-edition, USA-made instrument built for players who demand cut, clarity, and dynamic control without sacrificing body or power. Designed in collaboration with DW artist Dave Elitch, this is the first-ever True-Cast piccolo snare—with only 100 units produced worldwide.

Condition & Build Quality

This brand new DW MFG snare features a sand-cast, fully machined Bell Bronze shell, delivering a unique blend of density, projection, and tonal complexity. The shell is contoured from 5mm at the edges to 3mm at the center, creating a responsive playing surface with enhanced tonal balance across the head. Premium hardware includes True-Cast counter hoops, brass mini turret lugs, and a machined Mini MAG throw-off with matching butt plate for smooth, reliable operation.

Sound & Playing Feel

This 4x14 piccolo configuration delivers fast attack, tight response, and controlled sustain with a surprising amount of low-end presence for its depth. The Bell Bronze shell adds weight and authority to every stroke, while the shallow profile keeps the drum focused, dry, and extremely responsive. Ideal for intricate ghost notes, rimshots that cut, and articulate backbeats that sit perfectly in a mix.

• Attack: Immediate, sharp, and defined
• Decay: Quick with controlled sustain
• Projection: Strong, focused, and mix-ready
• Feel: Highly sensitive with a wide dynamic range
