The bead-shaped hammering in the center of the shell produces a brighter, more articulate sound than standard hand-hammered shells. The deep body gives it a rich attack and a rich tone. This snare drum has a sound as distinctive as its looks.
The MPX series is an entry-level snare model that can fully express the characteristics of the MAPEX sound while being an affordable model. The SONIClear Bearing Edge is great for beginners and features an easy-to-handle strainer switch and a maple-poplar hybrid shell that is easy to control and produces a straight attack.
