20-ply Blended Wood Snare with DW-inspired Hardware

Beneath its furniture-grade good looks, this 20-ply PDP snare packs explosive power. The PDP Limited Edition Maple/Walnut Snare Drum blends a 16-ply core of European maple with inner and outer plies (two each) of rich, present walnut, for not just serious output, but a crisp, dry tone and premier looks to match. The shell's Natural Satin finish really brings out the character in the wood. Triple-flanged hoops and a complement of DW-inspired hardware — Dual Turret lugs and a MAG magnetic throw off — unlock the best this snare has to offer. Whether you're looking for focus, power, or luxury, you'll find it here in the PDP Limited Edition Maple/Walnut Snare Drum from Sweetwater.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Fantastic snare!

Ok, I can't say I've played a ton of snares in my life. I bought mine as a demo several months ago, and out of the box it sounded like crap. But tuning it (using the tuning philosophy of "Sounds Like A Drum" channel on YouTube) and it sounds fantastic with the stock heads. I'll replace them when they wear out. No muffling needed unless revoicing the kit for a specific reason.

It does low, medium and high tunings great, has great sensitivity and dynamics for 6.5" deep (probably due to the super-thick and sturdy walls). Believe it or not, I use it with a low volume compact kit and it works well in that context thanks to its great dynamic range and sensitivity, while retaining plenty of headroom. It's got a nice fat sound to it.

The hardware seems really sturdy, the throw-off feels great (the snare wire was also incorrectly installed, so that was another thing I corrected in getting it to sound its best), and it's got a great on the fly tension adjustment if you want it sloppy, tight, or just right.

Plus it just looks plain cool as a piece of furniture. That's always (but only) a bonus.

The resonance

The thick 20-ply shell with the stock coated head hat some overtones which were amazing but after I put the remo emperor coated it sounded amazing all around great drum it is kind of heavy to carry around though but it's worth it its amazing for gigs

Music background: I started playing drums about 12 years and I've marched in a drum core for 4 years and I have been center snare for 3 years (at the time of wrighting this I an 15 years old)

Sounds as Great as it Looks!

With a factory coated head by Remo for DW Drums, this drum sounded great after a little personal tuning. I was searching for a 6.5 wooden snare and found what I needed in this particular snare. Sounds as great as it looks! Limited Edition too? Yes, thank you!

Sound and power

Have had this snare for a year now. Great right out of the box. Put on a Evans G1 coated head and that made a huge difference. Love this snare drum.
