PDP PACIFIC EX SERIES by DW 14" x 5.5" Snare

The PDP Pacific EX Series Snare Drum by DW is an entry-level, workhorse drum from PDP's early 2000s catalog. Produced during the era when Pacific Drums and Percussion (PDP) was heavily marketed as "Pacific by DW," this snare was included with the popular EX series shell packs. It is well-regarded for its robust build quality relative to its price point. Key Specifications

• Dimensions:14” x 5.5”. 
• Shell Material: Formed from multi-ply hardwood (historically entry-level Asian mahogany/poplar blends rather than premium maple) wrapped in a durable finish.
• Hardware: Equipped with budget-conscious chrome hardware featuring standard triple-flanged hoops and early-generation PDP dual-turret style lugs. 

Performance & Sound ProfileThe EX series snare delivers a traditional, punchy mid-range crack with a balanced blend of warmth and resonance. While it lacks the high-end hardware innovations found on newer premium models like the PDP Concept Maple Series (which include DW MAG throw-offs and True-Pitch tension rods), the EX series remains a reliable budget piece. It responds exceptionally well to aftermarket drumhead upgrades (such as an Evans or Remo Ambassador) and careful snare tuning to achieve a crisp, studio-ready sound.
