DW Drums announce a host of NAMM 2025 releases


Drum Workshop, Inc. (DW) salutes “The Queen of Percussion” with the Sheila E. Collector’s Series® ICON™ Snare Drum.

A groundbreaking and GRAMMY-winning percussionist, Sheila “Sheila E.” Escovedo rocketed to fame through collaborations with Prince and her solo catalog, starting with her seminal 1984 album, The Glamorous Life.

Sheila’s Icon 5.5×13”drum is built with a handcrafted 12-ply HVLT™ North American Hard RockMaple shell, finished with an outer veneer of Birdseye Maple.

The striking exterior is decorated with Sheila’s name written backwards in gold leaf in her original signature style. Also inlaid are a flutter of laser-cut butterflies crafted from dyed Basswood (blue, red, and purple), Pearwood (black), andPoplar (orange). The snare produces slightly higher tonality with a classic punchy and warm character.
