Matching Maple Snare for Your Santa Monica Kit

Whether you're after a matching snare for your sea foam Santa Monica shell pack or just a great-playing upgrade snare that looks to DW's earliest SoCal roots, this gorgeous 5-inch x14-inch snare has what you're looking for. Its heritage maple shell and matchless DW construction deliver the sound and versatility that heirloom DW snares are known for. Unlike other Collector's Series snares, the Santa Monica's Camco-style 3/16-inch shell — built from six plies of chunky 1/32-inch North American hard rock maple — and 6-ply reinforcement rings give you a distinct sound to round out your kit or collection. DW's craftsmanship shines through in every other aspect of the snare design as well, from its class-leading hardware to its optimized grain orientation. DW Collector’s Series snares are favorites here among drummers at Sweetwater, and we think you'll agree that this Santa Monica snare makes a bold addition to the venerable lineup.

Collector's Series hardware and appointments

Expertly crafted from solid North American hard rock maple using 1970s-correct shell plies, the Santa Monica snare drum has collector-grade looks and a voice that demands to be experienced firsthand. Like the rest of the Collector’s Series, the Santa Monica snare features the best of DW’s class-leading hardware, including fine-threaded True-Pitch 50 tension screws, robust 3.0mm triple-flanged True-Hoops, and that inimitable 3P/MAG snare system — not to mention a healthy dose of those iconic Full Turret lugs. Commemorative Santa Monica badges make this snare a bona fide collectible.

DW Santa Monica Collector’s Series 14-inch Snare Drum Features:

  • Matching snare for your sea foam green Santa Monica shell pack
  • Shell size: 5 inches x 14 inches
  • Classic shell recipe owes greatly to DW's SoCal roots
  • Built from 6 plies of 1970s-correct 1/32-inch North American hard rock maple
  • 6-ply reinforcement rings supply strength and focus
  • True-Pitch 50 tuning rods have a high thread count for finer tuning
  • Robust 3.0mm triple-flanged True Hoops
  • Precise MAG throw off with 3-way 3P butt plate

Reviews

Rated 5/5
Santa Monica Retro Style
I Bought this drum because I have a collection of snare drums . (probably too many )
I love the handmade look . The hardware is a matte silver finish and it screams quality
in a subtle way ...
The Minty green color is Arcade Fun. the drum has all the modern upgrades with the feeling
of youth and energy .
The Drum Sound is higher pitched with a great snap and sensitivity . The flanged hoop is very
rim-shot and cross-stick friendly . I would probably use it for the pop spectrum and smaller volume needs .
It articulates very well, the kind of drum you want to hear live !
DW has a way with Snares and this drum has a way with me...
