Mapex Aquiles Priester PsychOctopus 14″ x 8” Snare Drum, Gunmetal Grey

The Mapex Aquiles Priester PsychOctopus 14 x 8” Snare Drum, Maple/Padauk, Gunmetal Grey is designed for drummers who need a powerful, articulate snare with distinctive signature styling. Built around an 11-ply, 11 mm Maple and Padauk hybrid shell, it combines warmth with clear attack, while the deep 8″ shell produces a full, commanding response. Whether you’re playing heavy rock, metal, or any style that demands projection, this snare is built to help every hit stand out.

Mapex’s SONIClear 45 bearing edge helps the drumhead make better contact with the shell, giving you more consistent tuning, a stronger fundamental pitch, and a broader tuning range. Sonic Saver hoops, In-Line Locking B-Lugs, and Puresound S1430 snare wires provide dependable performance, while EVANS HD Dry and Snare Side 300 drumheads come fitted as standard. Finished in Gunmetal Grey with black brushed hardware and a striking 3D PsychOctopus badge, this signature snare pairs distinctive looks with practical, stage-ready performance.
