The Scorpion

The Scorpion is a 14 x 5.5 8.9mm 8 Ply Mahogany Shell. This uniquely wrapped standard-sized mahogany shell delivers a stark dry tone, with a scorching sting.

The Scorpion has Sonic Saver Hoops, double ended B lugs, SONIClear Bearing edges which are Rounded 45 degree centre with SONIClear 3/8" outer cut. The drum is finished in a SAS-3 Red Sand Strata, it has Chrome hardware and comes fitted with Remo USA Ambassador X 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.
