Information
The Mapex Black Panther 14" x 6" Heritage Maple Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.
Built around a thin 5-ply, 5mm maple shell with 4-ply walnut reinforcement rings, the Heritage combines a classic maple snare construction with a slightly darker tonal character. Its 14" x 6" dimensions provide a balanced mix of body, sensitivity and projection across a wide tuning range.
The Heritage pairs its maple and walnut shell construction with Mapex SONIClear bearing edges, Sonic Saver hoops and the BP Cylinder Drive strainer system, creating a versatile snare with a traditional foundation and modern Black Panther hardware.
Thin Maple Shell with Walnut Reinforcement Rings
The 5-ply, 5mm maple shell provides an open and responsive foundation, while the 4-ply, 4mm walnut reinforcement rings add structural support and contribute a slightly darker character to the overall sound.
SONIClear Bearing Edges
SONIClear bearing edges use a 45° batter-side and 35° snare-side profile, helping the heads seat consistently while supporting tuning stability, response and snare sensitivity.
Triple-Vented Chamber
The triple-vented shell design helps regulate airflow through the drum, contributing to a controlled and responsive playing feel.
Sonic Saver Hoops
Mapex Sonic Saver hoops provide a solid playing feel with strong rimshots and cross-sticks while allowing the drum to retain an open and responsive character.
Cylinder Drive Strainer
The BP Cylinder Drive snare strainer and butt plate feature Microlock adjustment, allowing precise control over snare-wire tension and helping keep settings secure during playing.
