  • Overview

    Shimano San created at least 11 of these Mapex/Beyond Shimano steel shelled units - the photos are of #11.

    He describes them as being "For drummers who like powerful rock" (if I've translated that correctly) and the sound as "Piercing" which I can't disagree given its looks. 

    The badge has been raised a little off center, although I'm not sure why and he doesn't say. I'll try to find out...

    実は下のレストアしたメイプルスネアのラグやストレイナーを使用したメタルスネアなのです。レストア終了時にラグやストレイナーを処分しようと考えていたのですが、磨き上げをしたらそれなりに綺麗になり、処分するにはお金も掛かるし、、、と言うことでメタルシェルの表面にスレキズがあるものがある事を思い出し、急遽こちらを昨晩作成いたしました。シェルは新品ですがその他はすべて訳ありパーツです。ラグナットを24K Goldに交換し少しゴージャスな佇まいといたしました。
