Description
[Used Mapex Black Panther Series "Black Widow" snare drum now in stock!]

~MAPEX~
This is a Taiwanese drum and percussion manufacturer founded in 1989 by KHS Musical Instruments.
The brand name MAPEX is an acronym for Music And Percussion Excellence, reflecting the manufacturer's understanding of the relationship between performers and instruments. While learning from tradition, they are not afraid to take on challenges, respecting the traditions of drum making while incorporating modern science to further advance its evolution.


BLACK PANTHER snare drums are a series where each model is given a name, and each has a design and sound that lives up to its name. The specifications are also detailed, with the wood snares having their structure and thickness carefully set according to the shell, and the metal snares being designed with a good balance of material and thickness. This is a distinctive series that also pays attention to the shape and position of the lugs.


Featuring a thinly finished maple shell and inward-curving sonic saver hoops.
With its bright attack, slightly dark and dry tone, and excellent responsiveness that allows it to resonate even with a gentle touch, this model boasts versatility to handle a wide range of musical styles.

-6-ply 5.1mm Maple Shell-
The thin 5.1mm thick maple shell provides good response and a slightly dark, dry tone.

-Sonic Saver Hoops-
Sonic Saber Hoops bridge the gap between flanged hoops and die-cast hoops.
The unique shaping process reduces wear with the stick, resulting in a profile that dramatically improves rimshot response and feel.
These hoops are significantly lighter than conventional die-cast hoops, so they don't hinder the shell's vibration. As a result, you get a more natural percussive sound and dramatically improved resonance.

-Cylinder-Drive Strainer and Butt-End Adjuster-
The cylinder drive strainer and butt end adjuster utilize self-lubricating bearings to ensure smooth operation. The adjustment dial employs "Micro-Lock" technology.
It allows for precise control and prevents the snare wire from loosening during performance.

-Air Flow Venting-
One of the most important elements in playing the drums is feeling.
The key to the airflow vent lies in this feel and the overall resonance of each shell.
Through meticulous testing, each model is equipped with ventilation holes to achieve the ultimate feel and a luxurious sound and resonance.
