The Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Cherry Bomb Snare Drum is a snare drum inspired by Mapex’s Black Panther drum series. It combines modern technology, innovative features, and traditional drum craftsmanship to add a touch of modern flair. The drum features an 8mm 8-ply cherry wood shell, which delivers a powerful and deep tone with excellent projection. It also has a 2.7mm deep 5.5 snare bed graduation, providing a dry, articulate, and controlled snare tone.
The drum’s 45-degree bearing edge enhances sustain. This common cut has a sharp 1-ply thick edge that reaches close to the outside of the shell. A sharper bearing edge produces more attack and sustain, resulting in a vibrant and modern sound. The increased attack and sustain come from less contact between the drumhead film and the shell. Moreover, the sharp 45-degree edge creates more harmonic overtones, giving the drum a brighter sound. This, however, makes tuning a bit more challenging due to the shell’s increased sensitivity to tension changes.
The specifications of the drum include a diameter of 13 inches, a depth of 5.5 inches, and a shell made of cherry wood. The shell construction is 8mm 8-ply, and it has a 45-degree bearing edge. The drum also features Sonic Saver Hoops, double-ended tube lugs, dual vents, a BP Cylinder throw-off, and Puresound P1416 16-Strand Stainless Steel snares. The finish of the drum is natural, and its product code is BPCW3550CNW.
