A Dark Snare with Big Cat Snarl

The Mapex Black Panther Heartbreaker Snare boasts an all-mahogany shell with reinforcement rings for warm, focused projection with an edgy, distinctly rock 'n' roll sound. It also has these high-end features: 10-lug hoops that give you secure, tight resonance; Puresound premium snare wires for extra-defined rattle; a Cylinder-drive strainer for smooth throw off with a tactile click; and SoniClear bearing edges that give a classically dark, throaty rock flavor. Mapex Black Panther Design Lab snares are engineered with Mapex's Concept Hybrid approach to sound design, shell composition, and drum construction. The result is a unique and personal instrument with the outstanding, rich tone that Sweetwater drummers demand.

Mapex Black Panther Heartbreaker Snare Features:

  • All-mahogany shell with reinforcement rings produces a warm, guttural rock-edged response
  • 10-lug hoops solidly secure your heads to the SoniClear bearing edges and preserve your tone
  • SoniClear bearing edges seat heads perfectly and ensure a more musical pitch across all tunings
  • Puresound premium snare wires are super-sensitive and provide consistently responsive rattle
  • Cylinder-drive strainer is self-lubricating and gives a clean throw off with a tactile, reassuring click

Heartbreaker Snare

A really nice sounding drum. Has a tendency to be tuned at Medium-High & that's where I have it. Both adjustable snare wire knobs work well to get that right sound your achieving..

The best snare drum I’ve ever played

This drum has the best blend of crack, body and low end ever. It"s phenomenal. The mahogany truly adds a low end to this snare that makes it so full and far but it still retains the wonderful attack. Definitely favorite snare I"ve ever bought, far and away. If you buy this drum you will not be disappointed. Also, I"m still using the stock head! It"s a temp ambassador x, and I"m telling you, this snare is top of the line. I"ve played a couple dozen high quality snares, and this one gets my top choice.

Check this out!

I used to use a Remo Controlled Sound on this snare, but recently switched it out for a Powerstroke 77, and it sounds great either way. I personally prefer it tuned high, but all ranges sound good to my ears. It's a really versatile snare, as well. I've used it in rock bands as well as my school's jazz ensemble. Definitely give this one a look!
