Mapex Black Panther Metallion Snare Drum BPNBR4551CN

The Mapex Black Panther Metallion is the epitome of a contemporary brass snare drum. This snare strikes all the appropriate notes, from delicate snare work in the studio to delivering a devastating rimshot onstage. The Metallion snare has a 1.2mm brass shell that is slightly undersized to provide the batter and snare-side heads complete freedom of movement in any situation. This means that whether you're aiming for current metal or Texas blues, the Black Panther Metallion will provide a remarkable performance. Mapex regards this snare as the pinnacle of the current Black Panther line. So, whether you're stockpiling snares or searching for a single snare that can handle it all, the Metallion represents excellent value. The Metallion's tone, warmth, and tuning range are enhanced by flanged Sonic Saver hoops on rolled metal SONIClear bearing edges.

Mapex Black Panther Metallion is the go-to metal snare sound centering the groove in the middle of the mix. The warm and centered characteristics of brass focus the sound with just the right amount of sensitive bite.
