Description

Handcrafted in Oxnard, California, the DW Collector’s Series SSC Exotic Ashwood Current snare drum pairs an 11-ply maple SSC shell with a limited-run exotic ashwood veneer. The shell is finished in deep walnut stain lacquer and accented by black nickel steel hardware. Built using DW’s Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) and VLT construction, this 14x6.5" snare features a 60-degree bearing edge for quick response and clear definition across a wide tuning range. The 11-ply maple shell delivers warm balanced tone with focused articulation and controlled sustain, while the naturally swirling grain ensures each drum is visually distinct. True-Hoops, turret lugs and a MAG throw-off support stable tuning and smooth snare engagement, and Remo heads come installed for consistent response from the first strike.
