Key Features
The Mapex Black Panther 'Metallion' 14 x 5.5'' Brass Snare Drum is not a name you'll be forgetting in a hurry. Its 1.2mm seamed brass shell delivers a balanced tone, with plenty of low end that is perfect for cutting through heavier genres like rock and metal.
As well as having sought-after materials, the Metallion also features BP cylinder drive strainer and butt with micro-lock adjustment technology. This provides precise control and prevents the snare wires from loosening during play- for a premium performance. In addition, this snare comes complete with Sonic saver hoops that enhance responses and provide powerful rimshots.

Drums born of only the finest craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail make it into Mapex's elite Black Panther range. These are drums that sound as impressive as they look. With custom Mapex features such as the SONIClear bearing edges and Sonic Saver hoops, the Black Panther drums are a formidable force for both the studio and the stage.
The answer is simple. Brass shells have been a favourite amongst drummers for many years due to their sound, response, and aesthetics. Unlike other shell materials, Brass offers an incredibly versatile and balanced sound with open highs, mids and lows. Perfect for louder genres like rock and metal, Brass is renowned for being quite loud. Although loud, you can just about use a brass snare in any style if you really want to cut through.
Mapex's unique bearing edge technology ensures better contact between drum head and shell. This increased head-to-shell contact improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance, as well as easier tuning. The sonic nuances of your snare strikes and rolls will sound better than ever.
An exclusive Black Panther component, Mapex's Sonic Saver counter-hoops further focus the snare's overall sound with their unique profile - also reducing wear and tear on sticks while dramatically enhancing its response.
