The DW 14” x 6.5” SSC Maple Snare Drum delivers the unmistakable warmth, punch, and articulation that maple is known for, enhanced by DW’s Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) technology. Built at the DW Custom Shop in California, this snare offers exceptional balance, sensitivity, and projection, wrapped in a striking exotic wood finish that makes it as visually impressive as it is musical.
DW’s SSC technology tailors shell thickness and grain orientation for optimal resonance and tonal balance. The all-maple shell produces a warm, full-bodied tone with focused attack and smooth sustain, making this snare extremely versatile across musical styles and tuning ranges.
Equipped with DW’s MAG throw-off, the snare provides precise, smooth snare engagement and rock-solid reliability. True Pitch tension rods allow for finer tuning adjustments, while DW’s high-quality lugs and hardware ensure consistent performance in both studio and live environments.
The 6.5” depth adds depth, punch, and low-end authority, making this snare equally effective for backbeat-heavy playing, articulate ghost notes, and dynamic, expressive work.
The DW 14” x 6.5” SSC Maple Snare in an exotic finish combines classic maple tone, modern shell engineering, and Custom Shop craftsmanship. With its wide tuning range, premium hardware, and stunning visual appeal, it’s a versatile centerpiece snare built to perform at the highest level.
