The Mapex MPX 14 x 35 Steel Shell Piccolo Snare Drum delivers sharp, articulate backbeats with the focused attack only a 1mm steel shell can provide. This shallow 3.5-inch depth produces tight, bright response with minimal overtones, making it a reliable option for genres that demand precise, cutting rimshots and ghost notes. Mapex has equipped this drum with die-cast hoops and a standard eight-lug tension system to maintain consistent tuning stability across high-tension applications, while the steel construction ensures maximum projection in loud stage environments. The 1mm steel shell construction provides a balance between weight and resonance, delivering bright highs without excessive ring. Die-cast hoops enhance rim-to-rim consistency and make cross-sticking predictable. The 14-inch diameter provides a familiar playing surface, while the 3.5-inch depth allows players to tune up into higher registers without choking the drum's response. Eight lugs distribute tension evenly around the shell, and the included strainer mechanism offers reliable snare engagement with straightforward on/off operation. Chrome hardware completes the package with durable, roadworthy plating.
