In 2014, PDP introduced the world to the LTD Wood Hoop Snare. That drum led to a complete line of 3-piece, vintage-inspired kits that they aptly titled Concept Maple Classic. Ironically, the only things missing were the snare drums. Not any longer! These classic snares provide a crisp, fat backbeat and then some.
