Exclusive features don’t have to cost a fortune

The 14"x5.5" DW PDP Concept Series Black Wax Snare Drum has a maple shell and the MAG snare strainer used in the expensive DW snares and is still available at an affordable price. The ten-layer shell construction clearly sets it apart from the competition in its price range. This makes it interesting for drummers who are looking for a reliable all-round snare drum without having to spend a fortune.

100% maple - any questions?

Maple has long been considered one of the most popular woods in drum construction, as it produces a balanced frequency spectrum and thus offers a wide range of uses. The Black Wax Snare has ten layers of this, giving it a shell thickness of eight millimetres. The magnetic MAG strainer can be operated almost silently, which is a clear advantage on stage and in the studio. The Black Wax Snare owes its name to the matt black surface, which creates a pleasant contrast to the chrome-plated hardware.

How about one more?

You can never have enough snare drums, and it’s of course quite appealing to enrich your personal collection with a maple snare from DW for not a lot of money. But the Black Wax snare drum is not only interesting for collectors, as beginner drummers also get a snare drum with high-quality features and a flexible sound at an attractive price.

A gap filler or an all-purpose weapon? Both!

In the studio it is important to have a large selection of different sounding, reliable snare drums at hand in order to be prepared for different musical situations. If the spot for "wooden shell snare drum“ in your collection is still vacant, the Black Wax Snare is a very well equipped drum with a lot of sonic potential. All the more gratifying that you can have fun with this snare at such an affordable price. But the Black Wax Snare Drum is also ideal as "one snare for all" thanks to its universally applicable sound character.

Delighted with my purchase !

Mighty Quinn 17.02.2018

The DW PDP 14?x5.5 Black Wax Snare is a superb quality product at a very affordable price.
It arrived strongly packaged and unboxing and tuning was very easy.
Once tuned it came to life with excellent tonal quality, Remo heads ,decent snare action / clutch, and choice of maple wood offers a balanced choice for new or expereinced drummers
A well made product ,good looking ,and great sounding ,I could not recommend it highly enough,

Very nice

Really nice maple drum for the price, solid and dynamic. Good factory heads but I paired it with the aquarium drum headas.

Gran caja a buen precio.

Serkiss 27.09.2017

Quería una caja barata para los ensayos, y me acabo de enamorar.
Mucho más bonita que en las fotos, y con un gran sonido para el precio que tiene.
Me hice a la idea de que cuando la recibiese y la probase tendría que cambiar los parches, pero nada de eso, suena muy bien con los parches originales.

Flamme 29.01.2020

Jouant sur fût en métal (Pearl) depuis plus de 40 ans, j'avais envie par curiosité d'essayer autre chose.
C'est ma première caisse claire dont le fût est en bois et je suis plus que satisfait de ce nouvel achat.
Je ne peux que recommander.
