Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Heartbreaker Snare Drum 14 x 6 in.

The Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Series embodies the performance qualities desired by top players. These distinctive instruments have been engineered using the Design Lab's ‭"Concept Hybrid" approach to sound design, shell composition and drum construction. Mapex's understanding of how different tone woods, bearing edge profiles, counter hoop styles, lug casings, snare wires, drumheads and even shell finishes can affect the acoustic performance of a drum has allowed Mapex to combine "Sound Concepts" to create unique and personal instruments for the demanding player.

The all-mahogany shell and reinforcement rings of the Heartbreaker snare blend historic snare drum tone with modern snare design. It combines the dark, rustic and throaty sounds of rock classics, but easily fits with today’s more organic alternative styles.
