The New Mapex Black Panthers follow the tradition Mapex conceived long ago: Create the best sounding and performing snare drums for an attractive price point. They just keep getting better.
I have to say, this throwoff is awesome. Easily one of the best throwoffs on the market. It operates very smoothly and dialing in snare tension is a breeze.
