The Peacemaker 14"x 5.5" Maple/Walnut Snare Drum:

Mapex Armory The Peacemaker 14" x 6.5"

The Peacemaker is based on a 14” X 5.5” 6.15mm 7ply Maple/Walnut Hybrid shell that (as Mapex describes it) has a little more “guts” than the standard 100% Maple shell

Built with 2.3mm Power Hoops

 With the power hoops that gives you excitement when you do your regular cross stick action!

Piston Strainer with Vertical Throw-off

And the throw-off is smooth as glass to operate, and uses Mapex’s Vertical proven design with the Piston Strainer.The new modern and strong Mapex logo embossed too! Drumming is the coolest!

6.15mm 7ply Maple/Walnut Hybrid shell 

The snare wires are premium stainless steel with brass end-plates. Moreover the hybrid Maple/Walnut Drum shell built up, in my opinion, provides the wider blast wave than the standard maple shell. The tone from the Walnut is warm yet still possesses that Maple crack most drummers prefer.

Built with  Remo® USA Coated Ambassador® Batter drumhead

The drum comes standard with Remo® USA Coated Ambassador® Batter drumhead,which is yet another bonus you wouldn't expect on a snare of this price range.

The tube lugs add some classic simplicity to the drum’s overall appeal, and this drum comes with a highly polished chrome finish on the hardware.
