The Vault Edge Story - DW & Sabian Unite to Make a Very Unique Snare Drum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Years in the making, The Vault Edge is a cooperative effort combining Sabian's proprietary cymbal alloy and DW's patented Edge snare drum technology. The result is a distinctive instrument that marries a centuries-old cymbal recipe with today's latest methods in drum making. Each Edge ring is cast in California using actual re-purposed Sabian cymbals played by Sabian artists. The rings are machined to aircraft-quality specifications and press-fit onto a wood core made from ten plies of several-hundred-year-old Lake Birch. The turret lugs, MAG throw-off system and 3mm steel True Hoops™ are plated in custom Antique Bronze and the wood core is finished in natural matte lacquer Hard Satin. The 6x14" drum's earthy appearance is consistent with its dry, warm tonality. Only fifty Collector's Series Vault Edge snare drums will ever be produced. DREX0614SEZ-B
Only 50 of these Snare Drums will be made, so contact one of our Authorized Dealers to get pricing and availability. www.dwdrums.com...

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.
Whoever has the job of tuning the drums at DW has the best job.
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
Glad you are liking the Vault Edge snare!
ProgGuy we are happy to have your feedback and have you watching the whole video all the way through! Thanks again!
Glad you think so! Thanks!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Glad you are liking your 8x14 Performance Steel snare!
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.
That's a no brainer! Thanks for being a part of the DW family!
Awesome! Thanks for your feedback! Thanks for choosing the Vault Edge! Enjoy!
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!
Ok! We appreciate your level of commitment to the Vault Edge!
Nice! We'll put the order in right now! Sorry for the delay! :)
haha ok Bernardo! thanks for taking taking time out to watch our channel!
Thanks! The Edge snares always project and this Vault Edge is no exception!
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.
You already had the tubes to make Sabian bell brass shells... I'd buy the hell out of one of those.
We appreciate your enthusiasm!
Alright! Thanks for choosing the Vault Edge!!
Birch Rules! My favorite wood in the world of Drums.
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.
The deffinition of a collector's item. Beautiful
Perfect combo for you! Thanks for choosing DW!!
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.
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)
Although he is a busy guy we are sure he would enjoy that!
Wow the sound is so unique and amazing
Glad you are liking it!
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!
Thanks!
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....
Marketing department in overdrive.
Overhype
@@friedpickles342🤡🤣
Used cymbals being used again! Thanks!
Send it to this guy! Haha! We appreciate your enthusiasm very much!
Love the sound of the snare. It really pops
DW is a great company. Too bad it costs a first born child and soul to get a Collector Series kit.
+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.

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

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.
This is what I love about the DW videos, educational!!! I would love to work at that company.
Not a bad idea! Zildjian has great stuff!
Respectfully noted. :) Thanks for appreciating the idea though! We are always trying to push forward!
$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!
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.
Ryan...Two American made drums. Ludwig and DW! Love both!
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.
Thanks for watching!
Aw thanks!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! We are always trying to push forward!
never stop doing it! you guys are awesome!
We'll see!
Thanks for that!
Enjoy and thanks so much! Let us know how you like it!
glad you are!
Thank you so much!!!
I will go to Moridaira.
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.
HAHAHA!! This made our Friday. Thanks!
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.
he's a happy camper!
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
I never knew someone could explain the making of a Drum that way.
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!
man,thats beautiful
Glad you are feeling attracted to the Vault Edge!
We are here for you! Haha!
Sure! Anywhere in the world is just fine with us!
Oh god. It's beautiful.
Not totally sure but we are always thinking of something!
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 ;)
Just my wallet hook me up with a set bro lol
That just might be the most mental drumkit I've ever seen 😂
beautiful
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 :)
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!
Sorry to hear that! Maybe we are talking about the the nut that receives the tension rod? What country are you in??
Sorry for the confusion! It is in fact 11 plies!
Great to hear!! Well as you know we have plenty of shell options. What type of music are you playing mostly??
Thanks for thinking the Vault Edge is nice!
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.
Happy Birthday 100 Videos !
You know it!
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
Oh baby...I wish I had the money for this.
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
Holy shit.. It sounds like a drum.
I have a snare fetish...
This is a snare that gets me going every time i look at it!!
I willl own this snare one day.
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 UA-cam? ;)
Seeing those cymbals being melted almost made me want to cry.
You said it!
Really love this snare! I think it would fit in nicely with my DW/Sabian Artisan Collection. :)
Will this snare be available on the Gil Sharone tour?!? I can't wait to play this snare with my own sticks!!!
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. :)
beautiful, wish I could afford one, and play a dw kit
Love it...i hope i can buy this snare in Indonesia or Singapore
Great!
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!!!
I like that the wood is Birch. With the wood submerged 200 years and the pores smaller. Does this mean the wood is more dense than normal Birch?
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.
A limited run for sure! Best to check with your local authorized DW drums dealer and go from there!
