True Balanced Tone

Offering a fully-rounded snare sound. The Machine from Mapex delivers a truly versatile and warm voice. From its traditional 14 x 5.5" size, and depending on how you tune the snare, you can get a real crisp punch from the high-end or resonating fatness from the low end. The pairing of Walnut and Maple really helps develop the all-round capability of the Craig Blundell Signature Snare.

Premium Snare Appointments

This Mapex Machine is fully-loaded with perfect features, such as the 45-degree bearing edges, which lets the Mapex Craig Blundell Snare omit a balanced output at your preferred tuning. Blundell opts for the Puresound 'Equaliser' 16-strand snare wire design which really pulls out the rich overtone of the Mapex's shell.

Furthermore, the Mapex Design Lab Craig Blundell Signature Snare arrives with Sonic Saver hoops, which are designed to create lees stick wear and be gentler to those drumming hands. The Trick throw-off offers another high-quality appointment on this Mapex Signature Snare.
