The Mapex Black Panther Snare was created with the consultation of international Mapex artists that shared their expertise on everything from shell materials and functionality, to sizes and aesthetics. The result is a collection of unique snare drums that look fantastic and sound even better. This 13" x 6" brass snare drum features a decorative brushed shell with Sonic Saver hoops and a Cylinder-Drive strainer. If you can't stay in one place too long, this snare's warm, open, and sensitive personality can travel with you musically.
