Mapex Black Panther Series Snares - Switchblade

The Switchblade cuts fast and shines bright. The American Maple shell delivers crisp articulation while single-flanged hoops keep the tone open and lively. Finished with striking Exotic Burl veneer, it slices through the mix with a sharp edge and brilliant clarity.

SONIClear Bearing Edge

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all BP Snare drum shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head-to-edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the Hybrid shell to stand out.

Air Flow Venting

One of the most thrilling elements of playing Black Panther Snare Drums is the feel of the instrument. The Air Flow Venting is key to this feel and to the overall resonance of each shell. Through a painstaking testing process, each Black Panther model has been fitted with the ideal quantity of vent holes for this ultimate feel combined with premium sound & resonance.

Cylinder-Drive Strainer

The Cylinder-drive strainer and butt side adjustment use a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth operation. The adjustment knobs employ “micro-lock” technology providing precise tension control.
