Mapex Black Panther Atomizer Snare Drum 14 x 6.5 in. Aluminum

The Mapex Black Panther Atomizer has a real mature feel, capturing every articulate nuance with precision and subtlety The 2 0 mm seamless aluminum shell brightens up the groove while keeping a deep character to the sound The Atomizer is fitted with Mapex's proprietary Sonic Saver hoops, a middle ground between triple-flange and die-cast They’re made from steel that’s folded inward for a round shape instead of a flat flange Sonic Savers control the tone for a drier sound than triple-flange, but they don’t deaden the drum the way die-cast hoops can They also reduce wear on the drum and sticks The result is a focused snare with clean, punchy rim shots every time
