Description
A beautiful, classically styled snare! We have a used Mapex Black Panther Retro Sonic snare in stock!

~MAPEX~
The MAPEX brand, an acronym for Music and Percussion EXcellence, reflects our understanding of the relationship between performer and instrument. We respect the traditions of drum making while also being open to challenges, and we embrace modern science to further their evolution.

-RETROSONIC-
The Black Panther Retrosonic Snare Drum is a beautifully crafted drum with a classic style.
It features an 8.1mm walnut shell and produces a rich, vintage-style sound.

-All Walnut Shell-
The relatively heavy 8.1mm all-walnut shell features MAPEX's unique 45-degree angle 1:9 bearing edge, providing a well-balanced, calm tone and good response.

-Sonic Saver Hoops-
Sonic Saver hoops bridge the gap between flanged and die-cast hoops.
The unique shaping process creates a profile that reduces stick wear and dramatically improves rim shot response and feel.
Significantly lighter than traditional die-cast hoops, they do not impede the shell's vibration, resulting in a more natural percussive sound and significantly improved resonance.

-Cylinder-Drive Strainer and Butt-End Adjuster-
The cylinder drive strainer and butt end adjuster use self-lubricating bearings to ensure smooth operation, and the adjustment dial features "Micro Lock" technology.
This allows for precise control and prevents the snare wire from loosening while you play.
