The Mapex Black Panther snare drum series has expanded with the Nemesis and Switchblade snares. The Nemesis (pictured) is a 14- by 5.5-inch, seven-ply walnut and padauk hybrid shell chosen for its warm, full-bodied tone with serious punch. Die-cast hoops bring tuning stability and a sonic focus that cuts through any mix. The Switchblade is a 14- by 5.5-inch, six-ply all-maple shell built for speed and sensitivity. Retro-style single-flanged hoops open up the shell’s natural overtones, that produces bright, cutting response.
