The Mapex Black Panther 'Solidus' 14" x 7'' 11-Ply Maple Snare Drum features a thick, 11-ply shell composition, delivering thunderous projection for a complete, sonic assault. Smooth jazz players need not apply. A brand new addition to Mapex's acclaimed Black Panther range, the Solidus snare is a tremendous choice for rock, metal and all hard-hitting genres. Its all-maple drum shell offers excellent, all-purpose high and mid-range frequencies, with augmented lows - thanks to the 11-ply shell and its 7-inch depth. But don't be fooled by its size - it's no big, lumbering beast. You can expect blistering attack with dry sustain - begging to be struck over and over. With the Solidus snare by your side, you rule the groove.
