Mapex MPX Maple/Poplar Snare Drum - 6.5-inch x 14-inch, Black with Black Hardware

This blacked-out MPX snare is the same great-sounding maple/poplar hybrid in a sleek, modern package. The 6.5" depth gives you a full, powerful tone with a fat backbeat and plenty of body for rimshots and ghost notes alike. The 7.2mm hybrid shell pairs maple's warmth and clarity with poplar's punch and projection.

SONIClear bearing edges and an Armory series throw-off bring high-end performance to a drum that won't break the bank. The all-black aesthetic — black finish with matching black hardware — looks sharp on any kit and pairs especially well with dark-finished drum sets. A versatile snare that punches well above its price point.
