Mapex BPNML4550COW Black Panther Venom Snare Drum
Mapex Black Panther Venom is the standard for a stright up bright wood snare drum sound.
The Mapex Black Panther Venom is the kind of snare that sinks its teeth into any genre you throw at it. Whether you're crafting grooves for a studio session or hammering out beats on the main stage, the Venom’s versatility, warmth, and brightness make it a standout performer in any setup. It’s built from an 8-ply, 6.85mm all-maple shell that’s engineered for a bold, crisp response with plenty of tonal depth and volume.
The SONIClear bearing edges ensure the drumhead seats perfectly on the shell, giving you effortless tuning and maximum tonal clarity. Paired with triple-flanged hoops and extra-deep, extra-wide snare beds, this drum offers a broad dynamic range and pinpoint sensitivity. Saturn lugs and a tri-vent air system give the Venom its iconic Black Panther aesthetic while contributing to its enhanced resonance and feel. Rounding it out is the cylinder-drive dual-adjustment throw-off and a Remo Ambassador Coated batter head—so you’re stage- or studio-ready right out of the box.
