## Description

The DW 3 Position Butt Plate can help you change the sound of your snare very quickly. Even in the middle of songs or between songs. The 3 position lever lets you choose a loose, mid and tight snare wire setting.

Review: Game-changer! - This is the coolest butt plate on the market. I have installed these on many of my snare drums. I really wish they’d make the mounting screw holes adjustable to retrofit to other drums without having to drill holes! (A slot-type design would be great). Industrious drummers can drill and tap new holes into this butt where needed (that’s what I’ve done) and it’s well worth it. I find that I really miss the functionality of this part when I’m playing a drum without one! As with all DW parts, the design is awesome and it’s extremely well-made. The chrome is excellent and the lever works very smoothly. My only complaint (and it’s a small one) is that the “loose” setting seems to be TOO loose as compared to the “normal” and “tight” settings. It would be awesome if there would be some sort of small set-screw to adjust this setting. I did a low-tech fix and put in a shim of thick Gorilla Tape under the pivoting section to tighten the loose setting just a bit, which works fine. Overall, an amazing product that I believe you will find you can’t live without!
Review: Great Butt!! - These butt plates are great! To be able to tighten or loosen the snare wires with one quick switch of a lever is wonderful! And another switch back to where you began is great. Counting clicks on a throw off and adjustable butt plate (if you have one) isn’t easy during a gig! This simplifies that adjustment especially if you need to in the middle of a song. I put this on every snare drum I have except the ones with the adjustable butt plate. I love them!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are awesome
*by R***K on May 18, 2021*

I keep adding these to different DW and Pdp snares and are super cool. You get a wet sound, tighter sound and really tight like a piccolo snare. Like have 3 snares in one with the flick of a lever
