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 Venom

The Venom is a 14 x 5.5 6.85mm 8 ply Maple shell. The thicker Maple shell delivers the classic maple sound of many iconic snares that went before with modern day looks and features.

The Venom has Triple Flanged Hoops, double ended B lugs and SONIClear 45 degree bearing edges. The drum is finished in a Arctic White solid lacquer, 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.
