The Mapex MPX piccolo snare features a 7.2 mm maple and poplar hybrid shell, which gives it a warm, full tone with a controlled attack and excellent projection. It has SONIClear bearing edges that improve vibration transfer and tuning response, a 10‑lug design for flexible tuning, and 1.3 mm triple‑flanged hoops that are lightweight yet responsive. The cast piccolo throw‑off and quality Remo UX head help create a crisp, snappy sound that cuts through mixes in genres like rock, jazz, funk, and more.
