Mapex Aquiles Priester PsychOctopus 14" x 8" Snare Drum – Gunmetal Grey
Designed in collaboration with legendary Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester, the Mapex PsychOctopus 14" x 8" Snare Drum is built for players who demand explosive power, incredible projection and pinpoint articulation. Finished in a striking Gunmetal Grey, this signature snare is every bit as commanding visually as it is sonically.
The oversized 14" x 8" shell delivers a huge, authoritative backbeat with exceptional body and volume, making it the perfect choice for rock, metal and progressive drumming. Despite its depth, the drum remains impressively responsive, producing crisp ghost notes, articulate rimshots and a wide tuning range that allows it to excel both live and in the studio.
Built to Mapex's renowned standards of quality, the PsychOctopus snare features premium hardware for dependable tuning stability and consistent performance, even during the most demanding performances. Whether you're laying down thunderous grooves or intricate technical passages, this snare has the sensitivity and power to keep up.
The Gunmetal Grey finish gives the drum an aggressive, modern aesthetic inspired by Aquiles Priester's unmistakable style, making it an eye-catching addition to any drum kit.
