Mapex Black Panther and Aquarian Heads

The Mapex Black Panther series of snare drums has been getting a fantastic reputation for great sound and great looks. Adrian checked out 3 very different drums in this range to see how valid this reputation truly is.

 
Mapex Cherry Bomb

  • 5.1mm cherry wood shell
  • 13” x 5 1/2”
  • 1:9 bearing edge
  • Classic in style and performance,this uniquely sized drum is as distinctive to the ear as it is to the eye.

     
    Mapex Black Widow

  • 5.1mm maple shell
  • 14” x 5”
  • 5:5 bearing edge
  • This full-bodied, versatile drum features extreme sensitivity and a dark, dry tone.

     
    Mapex Machete

  • 1mm steel shell STINGER
  • 14” x 6 1/2”
  • traditional 45° bearing edge
  • If you’re in need of a drum that can hack its way through the thickest of guitar noise, look no further.

     
    Aquarian Drum Heads – Focus-X series

    A clear or texture coated head with a unique “vented” muffling ring tucked into the hoop underneath the head. The Focus-X produces a sensitive snare response and a full articulate sound while eliminating any unwanted ring. Great for studio recording or live playing. Also available in a coated with a Power Dot underneath version.

     
    If you’re in the Melbourne area, head down to Prahran and have a play on these great looking Snare Drums from Mapex that Adrian was using throughout the review.
