I purchased a Mapex Steel Piccolo for me last Christmas and i gotta say, the sound stunk when tuning it. I brought it to use with my schools band, and put Moon Gels on them and inside our gym, the piccolo just turned into the perfect rock drum! We are playing Queen's We Will Rock You & Another One Bites The Dust and my snare rocked right through. I'm tempted to take it back home along with the moon gels and replace it with another snare. Also, great price! 60 bucks + Moon Gels will easily get you a perfect rock snare. What would you get? A 13x3.5 for $60 or a 3x13 for $120? I would recommend a padded drum case or this little piccolo will be bouncing and crashing into your case.
I tried out this snare in hopes that it would be better than my larger Sound Percussion mahogany snare. Well let me tell you, Mapex did not disappoint me. This snare drum is loud and bright. It doesn't sound as small as it really is. The fact that it comes with Remo heads pre-installed kept me from feeling like I had to buy better heads immediately. The snare wires are decent, too. They produce a loud snappy sound, and they don't buzz very badly when you hit the toms, either. Straight out of the box this thing doesn't take long to tune, but it does have a tiny bit of unwanted overtone. The solution? Moongel, my friend! I put one gel right on top of the Mapex logo printed on the head, and it killed the unwanted overtones while still maintaining good resonance. If you add another gel at the bottom of the head (opposite to the first one), it gets rid of all the overtone without killing the sound of the drum, and the result is a great punchy snare sound. With better heads and wires, I'm almost afraid of how awesome this thing might sound. This great product from Mapex has been the main snare on my kit for quite some time now, and I love it.
I went by the other review on here and also saw it at my GC here in orlando. liked the way it looked and sounded so I bought it and I must say it sounds really good . I tighten up the skins and in the process I found that there many different sound variations you can get out of this snare. way better than the GP or SP or PDP, had them all and this is better than I expected. Going to up grade the skins later, GC recomended Remo reverse dot on top and falam on bottom, by the way I bought it after x-mas and it was $53. the throw off feels a little cheap and the snare wires could be better, but hey Im not complaining just my opinion and in my opinion I had a Mapex pro 10x5 popcorn snare also and I like this piccolo better. So what are you waiting for get this thing before they run out. A little note this little snare just took the place of my Pearl Export 14x6.5 steel snare and I love my pearl. Enjoy it I know I am ,can't get enough of it.
