Mapex MPX Maple Snare Drum
Mapex for the Masses!
Mapex quality and sound is known all over the music world, wherever great tunes are played. Their maple snares command attention with fantastic projection and warm, bright tones. Now, Mapex has released a line of snares that maintains a high level of quality but also offers an affordable price point so drummers of all skill levels can get in on the great sounding action. The Mapex MPX Maple Snare Drum line is made up of two sizes, the standard 5.5X14 and a punchier, tighter 6X13. Solid attack and lots of power is supplied by the 5.1mm, multi-ply maple shell that delivers plenty of full-bodied sound. The die-cast 2.3mm hoops give stability to the drum and the tone, and unleash some crisp rim shots when called upon. It doesn’t affect the sound, but the gorgeous chrome on natural maple beauty of these snares will tempt you to set them on the coffee table as works of art!
Drummers playing the Mapex MPX Maple Snare Drum love the versatility offered in the tuning range. Only the heaviest metal and punk is beyond its comfort zone, but quality drummers could probably tune it to work there, too. There’s plenty of pop where you want it, and it has the ability to go deep when necessary, especially with the “13.” The Remo heads it leaves the factory with are of average quality, so you’ll just have to give them a go and see if they are right for you. If you want to pick up one or both, look for them new from $119 to $149. There are not many used snares available, and that says something about their value!
