Sound Pure's Take
Much like a lot of the Mapex Black Panther series, this snare drum is a workhorse drum for not a lot of money. Part of a limited edition of 50 drums, this drum features a maple shell with walnut reinforcing rings and die-cast hoops. The maple shell provides a nice clean note while the die-cast hoops and reinforcing add a little focus. Tuned high, this drum delivers a serious crack and tuned low, it delivers a smooth lush note. Depending on your favorite head combination, you can expect a variety of sonic possibilities wrapped up in a beautiful package.
