Revolutionary Control: The DW MAG Throw-Off System
Transform your snare drum's versatility with the DW MAG Throw-Off with 5P Butt Plate (DWSM2161), an innovative hardware package that delivers unprecedented control over your snare sound. This professional-grade system combines DW's renowned MAG throw-off mechanism with their groundbreaking 5-position butt plate, allowing drummers to instantly access five distinct snare tension presets with a simple shift of the gear-style lever. Whether you need to switch between delicate ghost notes, crisp backbeats, or aggressive rim shots within a single performance, this precision-engineered system provides seamless transitions without disrupting your musical flow or adjusting your primary throw-off settings.
The ingenious 5-position butt plate functions like a car's transmission, offering five precisely calibrated tension presets that dramatically expand your sonic palette. This allows drummers to pre-configure specific snare wire tensions for different musical styles, dynamics, or song sections, then instantly recall them during performance with a quick movement of the lever. The complementary MAG throw-off provides smooth, reliable operation with minimal noise and maximum durability, completing this premium hardware package that represents DW's commitment to innovating drum technology that serves musical expression.
