Mapex Maximus 14
21st century history. From Ella Fitzgerald to Michael Buble, Jeff Hamilton has accompanied the greats of jazz for almost 50 years. The Mapex Maximus 14″ x 6.5″ Jeff Hamilton Signature Snare was designed in combination with the king of swing himself to produce a snare that fits perfectly in any setting.

A meticulously measured deep and wide snare bed ensures tip-top articulation in any style, while Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edge technology makes tuning a breeze. Vintage versatility. Mimicking the old-school sound of calf skin but with modern reliability, the Mapex Maximus Remo Fiberskyn Diplomat head has a tone to fit the bill, whether you’re providing a full band’s backbeat or light brushwork in an intimate setting.

Slip seamlessly through three different snare wire tensions with the ultra-smooth Trick Drums multi-step throw-off, while the in-line locking lugs and gloss piano black finish complete an exquisite snare drum with a subtle classy look.

Nothing left to chance. Warmth, presence, and precise articulation. In creating the Maximus, Jeff Hamilton combined his years of experience with the up-to-the-minute ingenuity of Mapex’s famed Black Panther Design Lab. He wanted a jazz-voiced snare drum with a full, thick sound, so mahogany was the obvious choice of wood.

However, in order to maintain that warm sound across a variety of volumes and stick techniques, Mapex got scientific. The top and bottom bearing edges are cut at 45 and 35 degrees respectively – cleverly designed using Mapex’s SONIClear technology to maximize head contact, resulting in a deeper, fatter tone and incredibly consistent tuning. This, combined with a specially engineered 2.7mm deep and 5.5″ wide snare bed, produces unparalleled response, even when played extremely lightly or with brushes.

And with exclusive in-line locking lugs, you can be sure your tuning will stay solid gig after gig. Trick – a treat. Trick Percussion is renowned for its highly functional, innovative products, and advanced manufacturing processes. The Jeff Hamilton Maximus multi-position throw-off is no exception to this rule.

The durable helical groove design and cam operated lever mechanism provide consistently smooth operation, giving you the flexibility of three different settings with a smooth, reliable action.

Sonic Saver Hoops. Save your sound. The Maximus features Mapex’s ingenious Sonic Saver hoops. Originally created for Mapex’s legendary Black Panther snare drums, Sonic Savers feature a unique shaping process which creates a larger surface area on the top of the hoop, bridging the gap between the triple-flanged and die-cast methods.

This makes them ideal for raucous rim shots while also being kinder to your sticks – and your hands!
