For 2020 Mapex have completely re-launched their entire line up of Black Panther snare drums. Every model has been designed down to the finest detail to ensure every drum has its own unique voice. Between the 14 new models there is sure to be something to suit every drummer and any musical situation.

The Predator

The Predator is a 14 x 6 1.2mm copper shell. Copper works really well in the low-mid tuning range, if you like something a bit darker and deeper with the presence only a metal shell can give, this could be the right drum for you. 

The Predator has Sonic Saver Hoops, in line locking B lugs and Rolled SONIClear 45 degree bearing edges. The drum is finished in brushed gloss, has chrome hardware and comes fitted with Remo USA Ambassador X Coated batter head and Ambassador Snare Side underside.

The Black Panther Cylinder drive snare mechanism is fitted which allows the snare wires to be incrementally tensioned from both ends of the wire. 

Like all Black Panther series drums from recent years this snare comes with a Mapex Black Panther draw string bag which allows you to safely store the drum and protect the hardware and finish when not in use.
