Mapex Black Panther 14x6.5 Persuader Snare Drum Brass

Mapex BPNBR465HCN Black Panther Persuader 14" Hammered Brass Snare Drum

The Panther Persuader produces the deep and dry metal sound that built the Black Panther reputation.

The Mapex Black Panther Persuader is a bold, commanding snare built for powerful, articulate performance. Its 1.2mm hammered brass shell delivers a dry, complex tone with minimal overtones, even at extreme tunings — making it a go-to for both live and studio applications. The 6.5-inch depth provides added low-end and controlled punch, perfect for players who demand a fat, focused backbeat. The shell is slightly undersized to enhance resonance and tuning flexibility, while SONIClear bearing edges and extra-wide snare beds ensure maximum head contact and dynamic response. Whether you're laying down aggressive grooves or nuanced ghost notes, the Persuader responds with authority.
