The new generation SnapMax! SnapMax is a snare-mounted percussion block designed to expand your sound palette without adding extra hardware around your kit. It can be played as a standalone percussion block for accents and groove textures, or used together with your snare’s natural side stick to enhance and shape your cross stick sound, making it beefier and helping it cut through the mix. Mounted directly to the drum, SnapMax keeps everything within easy reach while maintaining a clean and compact setup. We now offer a thinner mounting bracket option designed for improved compatibility with many die-cast hoops. The Studio Series We went sound first - no compromises! We also improved the mounting system and made it more accessible to all drummers by offering a striped down version at a lower price. We now have two different pitches in sound: The original and a lower more soulful tone. These can be combined to give you an unparalleled percussion block experiment or together with your drums natural side stick, you can now have three distinct cross stick sounds from one drum. Each SnapMax is 3D printed and hand-assembled in Finland in small runs for top-tier precision and feel. ⸻ 💡 Good to know SnapMax is designed to fit most standard snares right out of the box. • If your tension rods are unusually short, you might prefer slightly longer ones — our measuring guide makes it easy to check. • We prioritized sound, and the polymer we use is strong but it is not heat-resistant, so just like any instrument accessory, keep it out of direct sunlight or a closed car on hot days. • Need help or want fit details before ordering?

Standard triple-flanged hoops are compatible in the vast majority of setups. Very chunky die-cast hoops may reduce clearance in some cases, though thinner die-cast-compatible bracket options are available. While most setups work without issues, perfect fit and clearance cannot be universally guaranteed with every drum and hoop combination.
