Mapex 'Maximus' 14" x 6.5" Jeff Hamilton Signature Snare Overview

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 Fibreskyn Diplomat head has a tone to fit the bill, whether you're providing a full band's backbeat, or light brush-work 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 maximise 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!
