The Mapex Black Panther Wasp Snare Drum is a 1mm seamed steel shell providing a stinging accentuated tone with excellent projection. A brand new addition to Mapex’s acclaimed Black Panther range, the Wasp snare is a perfect side/auxiliary snare for adding effects and stinging accents. Its all-steel drum shell offers a clear snap to your grooves with increased overtones and a longer sustain – thanks to its 5.5-inch depth and 10-inch diameter. But don’t be fooled by its size – it may look small but it packs a piercing punch.
Mapex’s Black Panther Series Drums, born of only the finest craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail, make it into Mapex’s elite Black Panther range. These are drums that sound as impressive as they look. With custom Mapex features such as the SONIClear bearing edges and Sonic Saver hoops, the Black Panther drums are a formidable force for both the studio and the stage.
SONIClear Bearing Edges: Mapex’s unique bearing edge technology ensures better contact between drum head and shell. This increased head-to-shell contact improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance, as well as easier tuning. The sonic nuances of your snare strikes and rolls will sound better than ever.
Sonic Saver hoops: An exclusive Black Panther component, Mapex’s Sonic Saver counterhoops further focus the snare’s overall sound with their unique profile – also reducing wear and tear on sticks while dramatically enhancing its response.
