Mapex Releases Black Panther Special Edition Elm Snare Drum

Mapex USA introduced the Black Panther Special Edition Elm Snare Drum. The 14 x 5.5 uses a revolutionary shell construction to achieve its unique tonal qualities. At the heart of the drum is a 6.1mm Maple shell with an exterior ply of exquisite hand-selected elm, finished in a high-gloss clear lacquer finish to accentuate its beautiful wood grain.

Additionally the drum is designed with a 3.4mm thick walnut sound ring at the top and bottom 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.

The Special Edition Elm Snare comes with die cast hoops and a fully adjustable Black Panther throw-off. The drum's hardware is plated in black chrome, to give the instrument an even more dramatic appearance. The drum also features high-quality Remo Ambassador heads and a 20-strnd snare.

Quantities of this snare drum will be limited. Like all Black Panther Special Edition Models, the drum comes with a durable, padded Black Panther Deluxe Carrying Bag. MSRP for the Special Edition Elm Snare (BPLM4550BXN) is $744.99.
