Copper snare drum with 1.2 mm shell for low, powerful tone
The Mapex Black Panther Predator copper snare drum is the choice for drummers who need an especially dark metal sound. The Predator brings a smoky, powerful sense to any musical situation. The copper shell produces a profound and weighty fundamental roar with mid-low range tone.
The Predator is fitted with Mapex's proprietary Sonic Saver hoops, a middle ground between triple-flange and die-cast. They’re made from steel that’s folded inward for a round shape instead of a flat flange. Sonic Savers control the tone for a drier sound than triple-flange, but they don’t deaden the drum the way die-cast hoops can. They also reduce wear on the drum and sticks. The result is a focused snare with clean, punchy rim shots every time.
