It is a brand new addition to Mapex’s acclaimed Black Panther range and is considered a force to be reckoned with. The Predator snare benefits from excellent projection and ringing sustain, typical of most metal snares.

Mapex’s Black Panther Series Drums, known for their fine craftsmanship and attention to detail, have made it into Mapex’s elite Black Panther range. These drums not only look impressive but also sound impressive. With features such as the SONIClear bearing edges and Sonic Saver hoops, the Black Panther drums are perfect for both the studio and the stage.
The SONIClear bearing edges ensure better contact between the drum head and shell, resulting in increased shell vibration, greater resonance, and easier tuning. This technology enhances the sonic nuances of snare strikes and rolls, making them sound better than ever.
The Sonic Saver counterhoops, another exclusive Black Panther component, further focus the overall sound of the snare with their unique profile. They also reduce wear and tear on sticks and dramatically enhance response.
