Absolutely love Mapex Black Panther Snares. After searching and searching along the likes of Gretsch, Ludwig, DW, Rogers, Pearl, Yamaha and more I remembered how much I loved my old Black Panther 13” piccolo. So I sought out Mapex again and discovered their newer expansive line of Black Panthers. Suffice it to say I now own the Metallion and the Shadow. And I’ll probably end up with another one or two of this line. With the sonic bearing edge being slightly undersized for better head contact, quality hoops, quality hardware and fantastic throw-offs you really can’t go wrong with any of these later Black Panther varieties. Way to frickin’ go Mapex. If I wasn’t already waiting for a new DW Collector's kit to ship I’d probably be all over a Mapex Saturn kit. Mapex’s quality shells and innovative, high quality hardware at fantastic price levels I really feel is unrivaled.
Wow is it possible to make these drums sound any worse ? Horrible tuning. WAY too low to bring any life to them. Especially the Nucleus. That drum is killer if it’s tuned right !
I love Mapex drums. They're severely underrated.
