The Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Cherry Bomb Snare Drum takes inspiration from Mapex’s acclaimed Black Panther drum series. It combines their knowledge of creating top-quality, cutting-edge snare drums with modern technology and innovative features, while still maintaining traditional drum craftsmanship. The 8mm 8-ply cherry wood shell produces a powerful and deep tone with excellent projection, making it suitable for any stage. The snare bed graduation of 2.7mm and depth of 5.5 creates a dry, articulate, and controlled snare tone.

The snare drum features a 45-degree bearing edge, which is a common cut that results in more sustain. This edge is sharp and 1-ply thick, peaking close to the outside of the shell. The sharper edge enhances attack and sustain, providing a lively and “modern” sound. The increased attack and sustain are a result of less drumhead film being in contact with the shell. The sharp 45-degree edge also produces more harmonic overtones, giving the drum a brighter sound. However, tuning can be more challenging due to the shell’s sensitivity to slight changes in tension.
