Matching Maple/Mahogany Snare for Your Concept Exotic Kit

The perfect partner for your Concept Exotic shell pack is the PDP Concept Exotic Honey Mahogany snare drum from Sweetwater. This 14" hybrid snare starts with a base of dense and richly musical European hard maple along with an outer veneer of decadent mahogany for enhanced visuals. It's the very same one-two punch that has brought DW's premier American-made snares to the forefront of performance and collectibility. Factor in a full set of DW-derived hardware — graduated hoops, fine-threaded tension rods, Dual Turret lugs, and a MAG throw off — and the PDP Concept Exotic Honey Mahogany snare drum hits all the right notes for value-conscious stage performers to image-conscious studio owners.

European maple shell

The Concept Exotic Honey Mahogany snare is built from hard, dense European maple to deliver studio-worthy tone and stage-ready projection. Brushwork to stickwork, ghost notes to gock shots, this snare is engineered to come across loud and clear under close mics or unplugged.

Exotic mahogany outer

The pairing of maple and mahogany has been a musical instrument mainstay for decades. This Concept Exotic snare's decadent mahogany veneer comes set to stun, which means all eyes on you onstage and on camera.

DW-inspired looks and performance

From its maple/mahogany shell to its Dual Turret lugs, DW's influence on this PDP snare is unmistakable. Here's what you get:

  • MAG magnetic snare throw off won't release, even at low tensions, until you apply pressure
  • Triple-flanged hoops unlock a dynamic balance of attack and sustain
  • Fine-threaded True-Pitch tension rods yield precision tuning accuracy
  • PDP-branded Remo heads equip this snare for great tone out of the box

  • Size: 5.5" x 14"
  • A high-performance snare at an irresistible price
