Mapex MPX 13 inch x 06 inch all birch snare drum in Transparent Black lacquer finish with black hardware Review

I selected this drum primarily because of the price point, and secondarily because of the size and its construction. First of all, this drum holds its own with drums that cost at least twice as much. Even if I had the money now, I would still opt for this drum. Secondly, the size provides a higher-pitched, brighter sound than most piccolos but without the associated loss in volume. Granted, this drum does not project as much as a 14″x6″ in an unmiked situation, but it provides an amazing experience for the player behind the kit, with or without monitors. I play Black Metal with songs that are 90% blast. The first show I played with this drum was phenomenal. It cut through crystal clear which enabled me to keep my time tighter, especially at the fastest speeds, and with no monitors. My old 14″ would get washed out by the kit, and it was a metal drum.

Its construction is very solid. The black hardware is a very nice finishing touch. Lugs are heavy duty and solid. The drum tunes very easily. The snare itself is perfect for the job. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to upgrade it out of the box, but it’s perfectly fine if you don’t. Of course, I can’t say the same for the batter head. I broke it within 1 minute of playing on it the first day, but that’s par for the course for ANY drum from ANY manufacturer. I put an Evans Genera Dry on and have been completely satisfied with the sound and lack of ringing (I don’t need any muffling).

It is highly responsive and practically plays itself. I feel it’s helped me up a level with my playing as well.

Mapex is a company that deserves a heap of recognition for the quality of its drums and the price. This drum is yet another example of this dedication to the instrument and the drummer. I simply cannot say enough about this snare. And no, I’m not a Mapex rep and I am not endorsed by any company, nor would I want to be. But if I were to buy a new drumset, I would give Mapex a serious look, even moreso now based on how happy I am with this drum. Is it a top of the line snare? No. But it blows away anything else in this price point and much higher.
