Mapex Black Panther snare drum Phat Bob

General

When Mapex decided it was time to let a team of their own product specialists get together with a number of international endorsers, they had no idea just how diverse the resulting snare drums would be. The Black Panther line of snare drums that came out of this collaboration is a collection of snares that all have a very distinct sound, and Phat Bob here is part of that series!

Mapex Black Panther Snare drum Phat Bob

The first thing you'll notice about Phat Bob is his ominous black appearance and his large size. This is a snare that is built to be played hard and loud, and as such it has a whopping 12mm thick shell, while the rounded bearing edges help it achieve an almost vintage sound. The shell is made of maple, which gives it a warm character.

Sonic Saver hoops

However, this Black Panther Phat Bob stands out in other areas as well! The Sonic Saver hoops, that Mapex designed especially for the Black Panther series, enhance the drum's projection, while their design will extend the lifespan of your sticks without compromising your ability to play ear-shattering rimshots. Are you looking for a big snare with an even bigger sound? Look no further: Phat Bob could be the ideal snare drum for you.
