14 x 5" Maple Snare Drum

This full bodied, versatile drum features extreme sensitivity and a dark dry tone. It feature a 5.1mm maple shell with a 5:5 bearing edge. Black Panther snare drums feature newly designed finishes including new lugs, hoops, throw-offs and snare strainers. Black Panther models feature one of two classically designed lugs. One is a beautifully sculpted shield-style split lug, while the other is an elegantly forged tube-style lug. Both are strikingly attractive and give the Black Panther series a stunning new look. To complete the transformation, each drum features a distinguished new die cast chrome plated Black Panther badge. The new Black Panthers feature an incredibly smooth piston-style throw-off that requires minimal effort to operate. The adjustment dial employs "micro-lock" technology that provides a silent, yet tactile "click" as it's turned, allowing precise tension control. Mapex's "Sonic Saver" hoops bridge the gap between flanged and die cast hoops. The unique shaping process creates a rounded profile at the top of the hoop that reduces wear and tear to both sticks, hands and wrists, while dramatically enhancing the feel and response of every rimshot.
