Mapex Solidus Black Panther 14" x 7" Snare Drum

Mapex Solidus Black Panther 14" x 7" Snare Drum Overview:

The Solidus is unshakable. This drum is a substantial instrument producing a crack that has a profound, bottomless character ripping with a bottomless foundation.

Features:
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 insure smooth operation. The adjustment knobs employ “micro-lock” technology providing precise tension control.
