Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Danmar TRW Nylon fits within the tradition of small drum accessories that make a big difference daily. Danmar is known for offering simple, robust, and effective solutions designed to optimize ergonomics and tuning stability without altering your instrument. This nylon washer is a practical and economical choice within the "maintenance and optimization" accessory range, particularly useful for the snare drum as well as the entire drum kit.
Who Is This Drum/Instrument For?
These washers are intended for all drummers, from the beginner seeking easier tuning to the experienced musician wanting a more consistent snare drum sound during rehearsals and concerts. They are relevant across all styles (rock, pop, funk, jazz, metal) whenever you tune frequently, play loudly, or regularly transport your kit and want to minimize micro tuning shifts.
Features and Innovations
The principle is as discreet as it is effective: the TRW Nylon fits between the tension rod and the hoop, which eliminates direct friction and metal-on-metal contact. As a result, the tension rod rotates more smoothly and tuning gains precision, especially during fine adjustments. At the same time, the washer reduces pressure and mechanical stress on the tension rods, helping the drum shell stay in tune longer and limiting premature wear of parts.
Sound
A washer does not "change" the sound like a head or timbre change, but its impact on the final result is real because a better-tuned instrument sounds better. By promoting a more relaxed and consistent tuning, the Danmar TRW Nylon helps achieve even tension across the drumhead, which can improve attack clarity, sustain stability, and harmonic coherence, especially on the snare drum. The benefit is most noticeable over time: less tuning drift, resulting in a more consistent sound between takes, songs, or rehearsals.

These washers have a small cuff so that there is no metal contact between the turnbuckle and the tire. I also promise myself additional voice security by using it.

Better than steel (disk) on steel...
are overall stronger than sleeved washers from hendrix, that's why I like to use them with SD... ;-) -
Now that the screws are isolated from the snare drum, the difference you hear metal versus metal changes

Do the job on a DW and can be added to the classic DW washers that cannot be removed.

Questions frequently asked
Are Danmar TRW20or washers compatible with die-cast hoops?
These nylon washers are suitable for most hoops on the market, including stamped and die-cast models.
How many washers are included in the set?
The set includes 20 orange washers. This quantity is enough to outfit the tension rods of a drum component according to its configuration.
Do nylon washers facilitate tuning a snare drum?
The nylon is placed between the tension rod and the hoop to prevent metal-to-metal contact. This makes the rotation of the tension rods smoother during fine tuning. The mechanical pressure exerted on the tension rods is also reduced.
What effect do these washers have on the drum sound?
A more even tension of the drumhead can improve the attack clarity and the coherence of the overtones. The effect mainly concerns tuning stability, especially on a snare drum.
Do Danmar TRW20or washers protect chrome-plated tension rods?
The nylon washer protects the chrome on tension rods and hoops by minimizing direct friction.
