Mapex Black Panther Equinox 14"x5" Snare Drum

Black Panther-serien är framtagen i nära samarbete med flera av de stora artister Mapex arbetar med. De har delat med sig av all sin samlade kunskap och erfarenhet vad gäller allt från material och funktionalitet till storlekar och utseende. Detta har resulterat i en serie verkligt unika trummor som ser fantastiska ut – och låter ännu bättre. Varje trumma har handbyggda Black Panther-stommar och hardware av professionell kvalitet.

The MAPEX Black Panther Design Lab embodies the performance qualities desired by top players. These distinctive instruments have been engineered using the Design Lab’s “Concept Hybrid” approach to sound design, shell composition and drum construction.

The Equinox 14" Snare features a North American Maple shell, reinforcement rings and the classic styling of single-flanged hoops which evoke musical traditions and modern execution. This drum possesses the controlled articulation needed to hear the subtlest ghost notes coupled with a bright and open presence at full volume.

The harder all-Maple shell and edge reinforcement rings raise the frequency response in the 1-3 kHz range, giving this drum a clear and bright tone to cut through guitars, larger ensembles and horn bands.

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Black Panther Design Lab Shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a clearer fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range

Design Lab Snares feature Puresound Custom Series 16-Strand wires. The wires are medium-gauged evenly spaced standard coils, providing an even balance between snare response and shell sound.

The Cylinder-Drive Strainer and Butt-End Adjuster use a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth operation. The adjustment dial employs "micro-lock" technology that provides precise control and prevents the snare wires from loosening during play.
