Mapex Black Panther Predator when a deep, dark metal sound is needed.
In the constant search for better snare drum sounds for the masses, the Mapex Black Panther series pushes the boundaries of design and materials. One of their newest creations is the Predator which is a 6x14 copper drum. It features a 1.2mm seamed shell with a hairline finish. Copper is known for its dark and punchy tone. Coupled with the Mapex metal shell design and the Sonic Saver hoops, this snare drum tunes up with ease and plays like a dream. If you're in search of a drum with fat tone and impressive aesthetics, give the Mapex Predator a try.
Compeletely redesigned, the Mapex Black Panther Snare Drum Line has undergone some serious upgrades. Borrowing from the renegade Design Lab series snare drums, there has been some trickle down features that are now found on these new drums, like the Design Lab Air Flow Venting, and the Soniclear Snare Beds to provide enhanced sensitivity. All bearing edges have the Soniclear edge for easier tuning and head seating, and the the Sonic Saver Hoops are standard on all drums.
