What We Think

The Mapex Black Panther 'Modern Classic' Walnut Snare features a 45-degree SONIclear® bearing edge on the batter, with a 35-degree on the snare side. The bearing edges have a 3/8'' rounded back cut. Then covered with Sonic Saver die-cast hoops, the result is a distinctly vintage tone with a snappy and focused attack. Walnut is a shell material known for its warm tones and cutting highs. You get a great full-spectrum sound, which makes walnut a versatile choice for snare drums. Triple-vented, the walnut shell delivers that full sound with plenty of projection for live and studio use.

Manufacturer's Description from Mapex

30th Anniversary Limited edition snare drum. A tribute to the much desired Deep Forest snare drum of the 1990s. The Mapex Black Panther 'Modern Classic' Walnut Snare delivers the wide-spectrum, deep tones you need for a full and punchy snare impact. The 100% walnut shell delivers that. Along with a uniquely retro, focused snare tone thanks to the 35 degree, rounded back-cut bearing edge on the snare side of the drum.

One of the things that makes Mapex drums popular is their innovation. With die-cast sonic saver hoops, SONIclear bearing edges and a triple-vented shell, there is a whole new palette of sound to be unpacked with the Limited Edition Mapex Black Panther snare drum.

Mapex SONIClearâ„¢ DEMO

Mapex wants drummers to spend less time tuning and be able to play more. The result of that mission is the latest innovation from Mapex: The SONIClear™ bearing edge, which allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range.
