This Mapex MPX Hybrid snare is a surprisingly versatile little drum. The maple/poplar blend gives it a warmth you don't always expect from a 10-inch snare, making it perfect for players wanting a unique, articulate backbeat in rock, pop, or even some funk. It's a great value for the money, offering a lot of bang for your buck.
