Exclusive features don't have to cost a fortune
The 14"x5.5" DW PDP Concept Series Black Wax Snare Drum features a maple shell and the MAG snare strainer used in DW's high-end snares - despite which it is still available at an affordable price. The ten-layer shell construction clearly sets it apart from the competition in its price range, and this makes it an interesting candidate 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 8mm. The magnetic MAG strainer can also be operated almost silently, which is a clear advantage on stage and in the studio. The DW Black Wax Snare owes its name to the matt black surface, which creates a pleasant contrast to the chrome-plated hardware.
One more won't hurt!
A drummer can never have enough snare drums, and the chance to enrich one's collection with a maple snare from DW without breaking the bank of course has a certain appeal. However, the Black Wax snare drum is not only interesting for collectors, as it also gives novice drummers a snare drum with high-quality features and a flexible sound at an attractive price.

About PDP Drums
PDP is the acronym for "Pacific Drums and Percussion" and is the name of a California-based drum and hardware manufacturer. The company was founded in 1999 by DW Drums to offer affordable instruments in addition to its own exclusive - and correspondingly expensive - brand, DW drums. To reduce costs, the production of the drum shells was outsourced first to Mexico and later to China. PDP has always used many original parts from the DW series. The Concept Series, with shells made of 100% maple, is currently the flagship in the portfolio. The Black Wax snare drums, available in six different sizes, are also part of the product range.
Substitute or Swiss army knife? Why not 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. Drummers whose collection is still lacking a wooden-shell snare drum will quickly discover that the DW PDP Black Wax Snare is a very well equipped drum with a lot of sonic potential - and the affordable price tag makes the fun that can be had with this snare all the more gratifying. At the same time though, it also represents an ideal solution for drummers who are on the hunt for an all-purpose snare drum thanks to its highly versatile sound character.
