Mapex Black Panther Cyrus Snare Drum 14"x6"

The Mapex Black Panther Predator copper snare drum is the choice for drummers who need an especially dark metal sound The Predator brings a smoky, powerful sense to any musical situation The copper shell produces a profound and weighty fundamental roar with mid-low range tone The Predator is fitted with Mapex's proprietary Sonic Saver hoops, a middle ground between triple-flange and die-cast They’re made from steel that’s folded inward for a round shape instead of a flat flange Sonic Savers control the tone for a drier sound than triple-flange, but they don’t deaden the drum the way die-cast hoops can They also reduce wear on the drum and sticks The result is a focused snare with clean, punchy rim shots every time
