Overview
Like its big brothers, there's not a huge amount of information on this Limited Edition snare, but piecing together information from videos from the Drum Center of Portsmouth and a few random sales listings, it appears to have been made in late 2013. According to Shane at DCP, Mapex made three sizes of limited editions at this time: the 14"x6.5", the 14"x8" and this model, the 14"x5.5".
All maple shell with a rosewood exterior ply in Merlot Burst lacquer.
