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 Wasp

The Wasp is a 10 x 5.5 1mm seamed steel shell. This a great aux snare with a tight and crisp sound that can tune down fat our crank up high.

The Wasp has Sonic Saver Hoops, double ended locking lugs and rolled SONIClear 45 degree bearing edges. The drum is finished in a chrome with chrome hardware and comes fitted with Remo USA Ambassador X Coated batter head and Ambassador Snare Side underside. There is also a mounting bracket fitted to the snare for easy positioning around your drum kit with a tom clamp.

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.
