Mapex MPX – Snare Drum Range Overview

Mapex is one of the world’s most renown drum brands, offering superb quality, constant technical innovation, and a legacy of over 3 decades to boot.

With offerings ranging from their entry-level Prodigy series which stands out as the ideal beginner’s acoustic drum kit, all the way to the Black Panther series which represents Mapex’s high-end professional drum kit range… and they’re some of the best in the world.

Today we’re going to take a look at their MPX range of snare drums.

The snare drum is possibly the most important component of a drum kit, as it represents each drummers individual style, tone, and approach. Mapex know this better than most, and as such offer a wide range of snares… not just in their high-end Black Panther range, but also as part of their standard MPX range.

While these are available at considerably lower price points than the flagship, the MPX snares are still built to an incredibly high standard and offer experimentation and individualism to more players. Let’s take a look at the range!
