Mapex Black Panther 'Velvetone' Snare Drum

After a decade of success, Mapex ushers in a new era of Black Panther by introducing a new lineup of fourteen snare drum models, each with its own distinctive personality. Working closely with our drum design team, a panel of international Mapex Artists shared its advice and expertise on everything from shell materials and functionality, to sizes and aesthetics.

The result is a collection of unique Black Panther Snare Drums that look fantastic and sound even better. Each drum features hand built and hand finished Black Panther shells and completely redesigned hardware.

VELVETONE

• 8/1mm burl maple/walnut/burl maple shell
• 14" x 5 1/2"

• Don't be deceived by its beautifully seductive exterior, this drum is wickedly dark with a high degree of sensitivity.
