Mapex Black Panther Design Lab 14x6.5 Russ Miller Snare Drum Peach Burl Burst

Mapex Black Panther Design Lab Versatus Snare Drum – BPDLMH4650LPW

The Mapex Black Panther Versatus snare drum is the result of a meticulous collaboration between Mapex and multi-platinum drummer Russ Miller. Designed to cover an exceptional range of musical styles, the Versatus delivers warm low-end presence with sharp, articulate attack. Its hybrid maple/mahogany shell is engineered for unmatched tonal flexibility — a true studio workhorse that thrives on stage as well.

A unique 4-ply SAS reinforcement ring on the batter side enhances rimshots while reducing unwanted overtones, and the ringless snare-side shell maximizes clarity and responsiveness. Heavy-duty 2.3mm Sonic Saver hoops offer the durability of die-cast with the openness of triple-flanged, while Design Lab lugs allow precise tuning across a wide dynamic range.
