Here we have a very early edition high specification Mapex Black Panther. This is a 14 x 5.5 Maple 8mm shell with Chrome Plated fittings and 3.0mm Die-Cast hoops. This particular one is finished in Flat Black. These drums were only available for a limited time around 1997.
The badge has tarnished and there are some light surface marks on the chrome plating. The snare comes with brand new Evans batter head and is completely original and fully functional.
This is a great looking and sounding drum, the Die-Cast hoops add a lot of character and focus to this snare, the twin cam snare strainer allows for a great deal of control over the snare settings too!
