Overview
A drummer who wants a traditional-looking maple snare gets a shell of many plies, matching wood hoops and chrome hardware, fitted with DW heads by Remo.
The reason to buy is the shell and hoop pairing: maple plies for a punchy attack with warmth, and wood hoops for a round, full rimshot. The limit is that wire type, bearing edge and warranty are not described.
Who it's for
A gigging or practice-room drummer who likes a classic maple look and a round rimshot. Players who need a metal shell or fully documented hardware should look at another snare.
Pros and cons
- Many plies of maple
- Matching wood hoops

Performance notes
The maple plies give a punchy, bold attack with classic maple warmth, as the description puts it, and the wood counter hoops produce a round, full rimshot. The MAG throw-off engages the snare wires, and the heads are DW heads by Remo.
