Mapex Mapex Black Panther Equinox 14" x 5" Snare Drum

Information

The Mapex Black Panther Equinox 14" x 5" Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Equinox combines a North American Maple shell with reinforcement rings and traditional single-flanged hoops, delivering a bright, open and articulate response with a distinctly classic character.

Its 14" x 5" dimensions give the drum a quick and responsive feel, with enough sensitivity for subtle ghost notes and detailed playing while retaining the projection and presence needed to cut through larger ensembles and louder live settings.

Black Panther Design Lab Features

North American Maple Shell

The all-Maple shell and edge reinforcement rings increase the drum's upper-mid frequency response, giving the Equinox a clear, bright tonal character with the projection needed to cut through guitars, horn sections and larger ensembles.

Reinforcement Rings

Reinforcement rings are incorporated into the shell design to contribute additional focus and articulation while retaining the open character of the Maple shell.

Single-Flanged Hoops

Traditional single-flanged hoops give the Equinox a classic appearance while allowing the shell to retain a lively, open and resonant response.

SONIClear™ Bearing Edge

Mapex's SONIClear™ bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flatter against the shell for improved contact, helping produce a clearer fundamental pitch, easier tuning and a wider usable tuning range.

Puresound Custom Series Snare Wires

The Equinox is fitted with Puresound Custom Series 16-strand snare wires. Their evenly spaced medium-gauge coils provide a balanced response between the snare wires and the natural sound of the shell.

Cylinder-Drive Strainer & Butt-End Adjuster

The Cylinder-Drive strainer and butt-end adjuster use self-lubricating bearings for smooth operation. Mapex's micro-lock adjustment system provides precise snare-wire control while helping prevent the tension setting from loosening during play.
