Modular Design The DFX snare drum may be quickly modified into a DFXT snare drum with top head snares, or converted to a Wedge snare drum. All parts are interchangeable. New Shell Design New for the DFX snare is an 8 ply thin-ply maple shell. This stronger shell has a lower tone, and makes the drum a little lighter. The voice of this new shell is lower, warmer and darker. Snare Head Side Shell Support Newly added on all Dynasty Snare Drums is an aluminum support ring at the snare side head. You may select to use a kevlar based head on the snare side, without voiding the warranty on this drum.
