One of the defining features of the Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Equinox snare drum is its 45-degree bearing edge. This cut, which is commonly used, features a sharp 1-ply thick edge that peaks close to the outside of the shell. The sharper bearing edge produces more attack and sustain, resulting in a lively and “modern” sound. This is because less of the drumhead film is in contact with the shell. Additionally, the sharp 45-degree edge produces more harmonic overtones, making the drum sound brighter. However, tuning can be more challenging due to the shell’s increased sensitivity to small changes in tension.
