PUSHING CONCEPTUAL BOUNDARIES
Based on its successfully distinctive snare drum
series, Mapex has taken this highly progressive design
philosophy, extended it across an entire collection of
unique drums and created the Mapex Black Panther
drum Series.
Black Panther drums feature boldly unique shell
formulas with specially designed bearing edge
profiles to create distinctive tone and voice.
With the Black Panther Series, Mapex speaks to the
artistic side of every drummer by giving them drums
that bring life to the sound they have only heard in
their dreams.
