Mapex MPX Maple snare drum Natural Gloss 14 x 5.5 inches

General

A snare drum doesn't have to be expensive to be effective! This 14 x 5.5-inch Mapex MPX Maple, with its beautiful Natural Gloss finish, delivers a comparably warm, rich sound to that of the 13 x 6-inch model. The increased diameter and shallower depth give it a bit more of a spacious sound with a slightly lower pitch.

The shell is made of 100% maple, a material that has been used to make drums for ages now and that gives this snare drum its warm, rich tone. It's equipped with 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, which allow for ear-splitting rimshots and keep your snare drum perfectly in tune for a long time. Mapex's special low-mass lugs, meanwhile, are small enough to prevent them from dampening the shell's natural resonance, enhancing its sound.

Furthermore, the snare is equipped with Remo UX drumheads - making the snare easy to tune and further enhancing its sound - and a fully adjustable throw-off. And of course we have to mention the gorgeous finish. Natural wood always gives drum sets a certain air of class, and this time is no different. The beautiful wood grain of the maple gives this kit a timeless appeal, suited for any stage!

In short, this astonishingly affordable snare drum is the perfect choice for drummers who want a quality Maple snare drum without breaking the bank!
