Overview

The Mapex MPX 14" x 6.5" Snare Drum is a versatile, all-purpose snare designed to deliver a balanced blend of warmth, attack, and projection. Its maple and poplar hybrid shell produces an open, vibrant tone with a defined “crack,” making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.

With a 6.5" depth, it offers a great middle ground between sensitivity and power—providing enough body for strong backbeats while retaining responsiveness for lighter playing dynamics.

Equipped with Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edges, the drum allows for easier tuning and improved resonance, ensuring consistent performance in both live and studio settings.
