Mapex Drums has expanded the sonic pallet of its Black Panther lineup with the release of its new Scorpion and Goblin snare drums. The Black Panther series has now grown to include 16 different wood and metal options in deep, standard and small diameter models offering a range of bright, dark, dry or vintage tones through its Concept Hybrid approach to drum design. The Scorpion features a 14-inch by 5.5-inch, eight-ply Mahogany shell finished in Red Sand Strata delivering a stark, dry tone with a scorching sting, while the Goblin features a 12-inch by 5.5-inch, six-ply walnut shell calibrated to produce a crisp, tight response with a small diameter and dry sound that cuts through any mix.
