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 Solidus

The Solidus is a 14 x 7 11mm 11 Ply Maple Shell. This drum sounds great throughout the tuning range. The drum handles extremely well in the lower tuning range reminding us of the thicker maple shell snares from yesteryear. If you want something tough sounding we thing this snare will be a great selection.

The Solidus has Sonic Saver Hoops, in line locking B lugs and SONIClear Bearing Edges which are rounded 45 degree centre with 3/8" outer cut. The drum is finished in Red to Black Burst transparent lacquer, it has Chrome hardware and comes fitted with Remo USA Ambassador 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
