Can you tell me if this is a stock?

There is nothing new in this, it is a stock purchase

Inside the shell does it have a serial number and a Dw tag?

In fact, it does have a serial number inside the shell and a DW tag.

What are the chances of this being true? Compared to other places, it's $200+ less expensive. The last time I checked, someone had mentioned B- The stock market. Is there anything you can elaborate on? That sounds like a dream come ?

It is impossible for me to answer your question as to why this is so bad In addition to removing the top skin from the drum and replacing it with a calfskin, I have been all over the drum with my tools. The epidermis. The skin appears to be in good shape overall, with no obvious issues. I have not found any obvious problems. My experience with B is a negative one For about the same price, you can find stock of this snare drum in a few different places. Having it for 200 less is just icing on the cake. I love the snare, and I am glad I can get it at this price. The key to understanding what is wrong with this picture is to understand You would have to inquire at DW about the stock. would rate this snare at the top of the list of all the snares I have used.

I love this snare and it's worth the money
5/5

I couldn't stand the sound of my old snare. It was out of round and not round at all. I have never been able to tune it out of the tinny sound. This snare is my main drum, and I usually play jazz drums with brushes. The simple action of throwing back and forth, as well as changing snares up and down during rehearsal, is something I love. Look forward to using my calfskin head, but the sound with mylar heads is especially good. Con I’m not fond of using metal heads. Drums from DW are heavy, as all of their gear is. Since my kit is an old beat up Yamaha studio and this is the only drum I replaced, I decided to stick with the Yamaha because I like the sound, and because DW's stuff is so huge that it is impossible to move it Having heavy drums isn't necessary for them to sound great! Regardless, love the snare, and the color goes with everything. It just adds to the aesthetics of your kit, I think. As a 60-year-old drummer, I maintain a very active social life.

I like it
5/5

My most expensive snare, and I know because it sounds as good as it is. As it came out of the box, it sounded terrible, and obviously it had not been tuned prior to shipping, which is somewhat disappointed, but they were not too hard to tune. I have not changed the stock Remo heads yet, as I don't see the need to do so. As of right now, I have it set quite dry, and it performs beautifully with dynamic playing, but I found that the drum retained its sound quality across a range of tunings. This snare tension setting is very useful as there are three stages to choose from. Despite having an old Supraphonic that I love, I think this one is much more appealing to me.

This is amazing
5/5

I'm using this for the first time since I don't have a Pearl Roadshow to use with it. I see a ray of light. It doesn't need motivation to play, but it's nearly impossible to stop when I see this! My favorite feature of this horn is the sound, three tuning mechanisms, and solid throw off as compared to my entry level horn. The price was lower than I anticipated but I'm glad I spent this much, and I may not have spent this much if "b stock" had not knocked it down. In addition, it arrived at my house 25 days ago. After I placed the order, it took five hours for it to arrive. A better alternative to.

Out of the box, the app is superb
5/5

Sure, that's what I mean. Having it all tuned up and ready to use out of the box was no problem for them. had expected to deal with that, but it hasn't been that difficult. My goal was to make sure that I wouldn't ruin it. I love the ring and the tone of the phone. This has been a great experience.

I love the sound of this snare
5/5

Snare drums are very versatile, yet they still embody specific characteristics of metal snare drums. The low-rise shoe features a full-length sole Brass not only adds warmth to the end of an attack, but also to the overall effect. 5 Things to Do Before the Election This quick adjustment is very useful, especially when used in conjunction with the mag throw-away system Pull the lever to turn off the light. It's super easy to fine-tune depending on the genre of your game. The snare is awesome and I'm super stoked about it. I love it a lot. As I've come to expect from DW Collector's Series drums, it delivers everything it promises.

The risk is well worth it
5/5

The drum I am showing here is a "B Stock", meaning it has some type of factory defect. Usually it has some sort of imperfection in the nickel plating, but I was not able to find any other faults There is a sick sound coming from the drum. I am currently tuning mine to the higher end of middle, which is nice about this drum. You can also tune it down by turning a knob to the other end, if you want it tuned down. Depending on what needs to be done, it can go really low or really high. At this price, it is hard to beat.
