Mapex’s Black Panther Series Drums represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and attention to detail. These drums not only look impressive but also sound incredible. With features like the SONIClear bearing edges and Sonic Saver hoops, the Black Panther drums are suitable for both studio recordings and live performances.
Brass shells have long been favored by drummers due to their versatile sound and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Unlike other materials, Brass offers a balanced sound with open highs, mids, and lows. It is particularly well-suited for louder genres like rock and metal, as it can provide a powerful and cutting sound.
The SONIClear bearing edges ensure better contact between the drum head and shell, resulting in improved shell vibration, greater resonance, and easier tuning. The Sonic Saver counter-hoops, exclusive to the Black Panther series, contribute to the overall sound of the snare while reducing wear and tear on drumsticks and enhancing responsiveness.
