Key Features
The PDP Drums 14'' x 5.5'' Maple Snare with Wood Hoops, Gloss Natural is an all maple snare that is highly versatile. Creating a wide range of sounds thanks to its 5.5'' depth, it's perfect for any beginner or advanced drummer looking for a beautiful drum - sonically and visually. The PDP Maple Snare also boasts the DW MAG throw-off, letting you drop the copper snare wires quickly but without any strainer buzz to give you the perfect tones, fast.
With the innovative HVX shells, the standout wooden hoops control the sustain excellently and produce a popping sound. This makes this not only a great main snare but an excellent auxiliary snare that adds a pronounced tone. With a single finish from shell to hoop, it's visually stunning too.

Designed by the legendary drum designer John Good and DW, HVX is a new way to put together wood plies. With plies aligned horizontally, vertically and straight - hence the name - the drums offer a punchy fundamental and great projection. Perfect for live use, these drums can reach the back of the room no problem at all.
Maple is traditionally used in high quality drums. It is used for its powerful sound as well as for the pristine and polished look that maple brings. Maple contains slightly boosted lows with high frequencies to make it work in almost any musical genre. Drums made entirely of maple will create a more even sound and a warmer tone.
Wooden hoops help the snare drum create a warmer and rounder sound than its metal counterparts. They are very rigid and because of this they allow tuning to be more even and stable. They are also very durable and avoid damages such as dents, cracks and splinters after years of use.
The Performance Series now comes with the all-new MAG™ throw-off in a chrome finish. A simple design, the MAG™ is a workhorse drop throw-off with easy to adjust horizontal tension. Its name comes from a magnet that's built into the body of the throw-off. When the handle is lifted into the upright position it can not be released. When it finally releases it will throw the strainer completely off the head to avoid any strainer buzz.
