Information
The Mapex Black Panther 14" x 5.5" Nucleus Maple/Walnut Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.
The Nucleus is built around an 8-ply, 8.1mm hybrid maple/walnut/maple shell, combining the familiar clarity and balance of maple with walnut plies at the centre of the shell for a slightly darker, more organic character.
Its 14" x 5.5" dimensions give the drum a quick and articulate response, while Mapex SONIClear bearing edges, Sonic Saver hoops and the BP Cylinder Drive strainer system provide the control and precision expected from the Black Panther range.
Hybrid Maple/Walnut/Maple Shell
The 8-ply, 8.1mm shell places walnut at the centre between inner and outer maple plies. This gives the Nucleus a balanced maple foundation with additional warmth and tonal depth from the walnut construction.
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.
