The Black Page Icon Snare could easily be the sixth or seventh snare in this range if we also count the snare drum of the new Collector's Series 45th Anniversary drum set, or the other Icon Snares DW made. Click here for the 45th Anniversary kit video and info. Below is a list of the Icon Snares DW produced so far.

The Black Page Snare Design
This new snare drum honors the legendary Terry Bozzio and the extreme complex percussion piece written for him by Frank Zappa. It has a laser-engraving of the drum notation of The Black Page and a Frank Zappa moustache logo in Dyed Black Pear wood laid in in a background of White Birdseye Maple.

Each of the 250 drums are hand-signed by Bozzio and come with a limited edition vinyl recording of The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page #1. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the snare will be donated to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. If you want to buy one, DW recommends you contact an authorized DW dealer near you.
