Mapex Snare Drums

Most percussionists would agree that the snare is the most important drum in a kit, and it's for this reason why the one you choose should have great response and sound, and be durable enough to hold up through countless practices and performances. Of course, it's for this reason why Mapex snare drums are continually a go-to choice amongst amateur and expert drummers from around the world. Whether you're a member of a jazz ensemble or in a touring black-metal quartet, Mapex has a snare for every style and taste, from piccolo and maple snares to even signature models from famous players.

Choosing the right snare for you is as simple as understanding some of the various types, and what they can offer you in a sound. For example, if you prefer a snare that delivers a dark tone with some pop, check out the Black Panther Black Widow. With their hand-finished shells and sculpted lug design, the Black Panther snare drum boasts a full-bodied sound that demands to be heard. Incredibly versatile, this snare is a top-rated item for a reason, and the moment you hit it, you'll understand why.

Now, for those who like the bright and focused tone of birch, look no further than the MPX birch snare. Featuring a gloss-finished shell, and complete with chrome-plated triple-flanged hoops, this snare has a punchy sound that's well-balanced, and a clean defined attack that makes it ideal for a wide range of genres. Additionally, the MPX Birch Snare is very affordable, so drummers of all budgets can enjoy a professional-sounding snare at a price that won't break the bank.
