Mapex Black Panther ELM Burl Snare drum with Walnut reinforcing ring BPLM4550BXN

Introducing the Black Panther Special Edition Elm Snare Drum…

The 14 x 5.5 uses a revolutionary shell construction to achieve its unique tonal qualities: beautiful ELM Burl exterior ply on top of a thin maple shell. The reinforcing ring enhances the focus and creates a more controlled sound.

“The combination of these two types of wood gives me a unique snare drum sound and new adventure and tone” said Gregg Bissonette, Mapex International artist.

This ELM Burl maple features:

  • Heart of the drum made by a 6.1mm all Maple thin shell with an exterior ply of exquisite hand-selected elm, finished with a high-gloss clear lacquer finish to accentuate its beautiful grain;
  • Designed with dark attact 3.4mm all walnut sound ring at the top and the bottom of the edge of the shell; these sound rings add roundness and darkness to the sound of the drum. The result is a tone that is unmatched by any other drum on the market;

  • Die Cast Hoops and a fully adjustable Black Panther throw-off;

  • Black chrome fittings;

  • Remo® Ambassador coated top heads, 20-strand snares.

This 14 x 5.5 special edition snare comes with a free Black Panther Deluxe Carrying bag.
