Mapex Black Panther "Premium" Steel 14x6.5 Snare Drum-Used

VINTAGE Blank Panther Snare Drum

The Black Panther Steel is their loudest metal shell, yet it yields a wide dynamic range for soft articulation. The magnificent brightness embedded in the tonal bands makes the Black Panther Steel Snare an incredibly versatile, high-performance instrument.

The model wasn't around very long - it was released in 2004 when it replaced the ST4651D (same shell, chrome lugs and die-cast hoops) and was itself replaced in 2007 with a model without the tone control rings. As a result, and also because I think people hold onto them as they are such a good "workhorse" snare, this model is really tough to find these days.
