General
A snare drum doesn't have to be expensive to be effective! This 13 x 6-inch Mapex MPX Maple, with its beautiful Natural Gloss finish, delivers a warm, rich sound. Its 13-inch diameter gives it a pitch that is ever so slightly higher than that of a 14-inch snare drum and a very crisp and sharp sound, while the 6-inch depth gives it plenty of volume and presence.
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, which, in turn, enhances 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. Of course we have to mention the gorgeous finish. Natural wood always gives drum sets a certain air of class, and this snare 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!
