Courtesy of Mapex, beginners and drummers on a budget now have access to a full-size, real maple/poplar hybrid-ply snare shell. This MPX Maple/Poplar Snare from Mapex perfectly pairs both woods for a sturdy 7.2mm shell construction, showcasing the classic warmth and attack of maple with the fullness and durability of poplar. Such a convincing tone means you can feel comfortable playing the MPX snare in just about any genre — from rock to jazz, metal, and more, this snare will deliver that solid “crack” on every backbeat! Mapex has shaved this drum with the same high-standard SONIClear Bearing Edges as their flagship models, providing optimal shell-to-head vibration transfer for strikes that sing, not stiffen. Complete with a Remo UX batter to boot, the MPX Maple/Poplar Snare is ready to rock when you are!
