The name Black Panther, conjuring up speed and power allied to velvety sleekness, has been a winner for Mapex over the past decade.
And now we have a quick view of one the top line Snare drums from Black Panther line of great snares; Phatbob 14" x 7" Thick Maple Shell Snare
Let's have a closer view of the snare....
Big in every sense, the 14" x 7" Phatbob has a fat shell consisting of 12mm of 100% maple ply
It also has a couple of vintage style features. Elegantly sculpted twin-point mounted tube lugs.
The patented 'Sonic Saver ' hoops lie between flanged and die-cast hoops
Using the Remo Ambassador brings the best of the sound of Phatbob snare!
The Black Panther thick maple shell with the well built chrome snare wires.
You will appreciate the extra fine sensitivity of the new Black Panther snare strainer.
First, it's the only drum in the Panther range which has rounded profile bearing edges, which Mapex dubs 8:2. And second, whereas the snare bed dips on the other wood drums are shallow, on this drum the beds are cut deeper, so you really can't miss them.
The overall feeling as you lay in is one of solidity and gravitas, a sense of confidence, no matter what sort of music you play.
