Mapex Black Panther snare drum Velvetone

General

Mapex' Velvetone snare drum might be one of the most impressive entries into the Black Panther series of snares. It was so impressive that Mapex even created a whole drum set with the same name(link). It has a beautiful finish that shows off a gorgeous wood grain and, most importantly, it sounds terrific!

Velvetone

The 14 x 5.5-inch Mapex Black Panther Velvetone snare drum is a unique drum. Its 8.1mm-thick shell has a beautifully stained and lacquered outer layer of burl maple, a core of walnut that gives its sound a bit more depth, and an inner layer of maple. All this creates the deep, soft sound that inspired the name Velvetone.

Sonic Saver hoops

This Black Panther Blade stands out in other areas as well! The Sonic Saver hoops, which Mapex designed especially for the Black Panther, enhance the drum's projection, while their design will extend the lifespan of your sticks without compromising your ability to play proper rimshots.

Are you looking for a deep and rich, buttery sound with plenty of projection, and an absolutely stunning, timeless finish? Look no further: the Mapex Black Panther Velvetone is the ideal snare drum for you.
