Mapex Mayan Brushed Bronze Steel Snare

[beats1969]

i own a craviotto maple with steel and wood hoops, a tempus carbon fiber and i recently picked up up this little baby ! none of the video's on youtube capture the full dynamic range of this drum !! it kicks ass in any situation . jazz-very soft , funk,rock,folk,big band, hip hop .....etc.. this drum truly stands with the best of them ! they're almost the greatest secret in the drum world ! i play traditional grip and slant my drum . this baby is is like the touch of a beautiful woman !

dude i have this snare also and it is the sweetest snare ive played in my life but one question....how did you get it to sound like that and what heads did you use???

thanks

Hi.

I tightened the batter head real tight, loosened off the throw a tad after tightening that to the point where the snare didn't bite, loosened the reso a bit too.

Batter is Evans EC2 snare and reso is Evans Hazy 300

And thanks for your nice comment matey :o)

[dreaves000]

thanks dude i think i might get this (adlers will be my second choice)

[dreaves000]

if not tell me me what black panthers are best (not counting adlers its to small)

[caulkie]

Again, I'm not so sure which would be best, why not find out if any of the drummers of your favourite bands are Mapex Endorsees.

And I think you'd be surprised by the Adler snare, it packs a hefty punch.

[dreaves000]

is this good for heavy metal(like LoG immortal and gorgoroth shadows fall)

and lighter metal like alice in chains i need help QUIK!

[caulkie]

I have no idea as I'm not a fan of that type of metal. I suppose the snare could handle it :o)

[IchMagSechs]

@dreaves000 just get a chris adler sig if ur into LOG haha.

[tldrums]

hey u recommend me buying that snare??? thanks !!!

[DeadPandaTits]

I know this thing looks unbelievably beautiful, but tell me is it worth the 399 price tag?

[caulkie]

It didn't cost me 399. Cost me £280, well actually it cost my wife that much, she bought it for me

[DeadPandaTits]

dang, lucky you

in america the usual price for this, that i've found so far, is about 299 or 349.

regardless, is it worth the month?

[caulkie]

That works out cheaper than in the UK :o)

It's not the heaviest snare known to man, but it comes close.  The build quality is faultless and the sound truly is awesome. I prefer wood snares through choice but this is the best metal snare that I own (I have 14 snares)

[AntMan746]

I'm in love with that snare!How much does it costs?Where did you get it?(sorry for the bad english,i'm from greece)

[caulkie]

Poole Percussion in Poole in Dorset, a drummers drum shop, £280.

[caulkie]

Depending on where you go on the internet, it's either posted as an Aztec snare or a Mayan Aztec snare.

It's still the same thing, so don't panic old chap :o)

Special Edition Mayan Steel

[caulkie]

Just for you, I'll change the title.......

[hybridtavo]

No need to I was just mentioning the actual title. Im a mapex fan hehehehhe Awesome snare u got there, Im actually thinkin on gettin one.

And Im guessing thats a Saturn kit from the finish (awesome choice) either if is the walnut/maple or walnut/birch cant go wrong w either

^_^

[caulkie]

Thanks. Yes it's a Saturn and it's the ltd ed one with the black hardware and two floor toms. Walnut/Maple. I love the kit, and glad I found that particular one locally.

And get the snare, it's a beauty

[HOCICONSANGRIENTO]
