Whether you're after a matching snare for your butterscotch Santa Monica shell pack or just a great-playing upgrade snare that looks to DW's earliest SoCal roots, this gorgeous 5-inch x 14-inch snare has what you're looking for. Its heritage maple shell and matchless DW construction deliver the sound and versatility that heirloom DW snares are known for. Unlike other Collector's Series snares, the Santa Monica's Camco-style 3/16-inch shell ? built from six plies of chunky 1/32-inch North American hard rock maple ? and 6-ply reinforcement rings give you a distinct sound to round out your kit or collection. DW's craftsmanship shines through in every other aspect of the snare design as well, from its class-leading hardware to its optimized grain orientation. DW Collector’s Series snares are favorites here among drummers at Sweetwater, and we think you'll agree that this Santa Monica snare makes a bold addition to the venerable lineup.

Like the rest of the Collector’s Series, the Santa Monica snare features the best of DW’s class-leading hardware, including fine-threaded True-Pitch 50 tension screws, robust 3.0mm triple-flanged True-Hoops, and that inimitable 3P/MAG snare system ? not to mention a healthy dose of those iconic Full Turret lugs. Commemorative Santa Monica badges make this snare a bona fide collectible.
