MAPEX MPX MPML4700CNL 14X7 Snare
Dig Deep With This Monster 14X7 Maple shell Snare
If you like your back beats fat, then this drum gives you exactly that. Adding the extra depth to the 14" diameter gives the drum lower, deeper tonal properties perfectly suited to rock or soul.
Don't be mistaken, this drum is not a one trick pony, tune it high and it will cut through the muddiest of on-stage mixes whilst retaining that warm, full-bodied tone that maple offers.

The Blaster is the only Panther with internal reinforcing rings. It has a 13"x7" shell which is 5.1mm of maple with 3.4mm internal rings of walnut. These thin rings extend about 4cm into the shell top and bottom. In terms of support they certainly work - the review shell was almost perfectly round, despite being thin.
The 45-degree bearing edges slope up to a not-too-sharp smooth-over on the outer ply. As with all the Panther edges they're even and well executed. The shell is finished in a two-tone transparent brown fade stain and gloss lacquer.

Hands on
Bored with 14" snares? Then why not change your sound to this 13"x7"? Decreasing the diameter while increasing the depth gives the drum a different tonal dynamic. It's just as powerful as a 14" but has that little bit more edge, allied to depth.

Because of the depth the drum suits slightly higher tuning when it delivers maximum bite. But we actually preferred it at mid tuning, when it was fat and creamy, the combination of maple and walnut with the vintage build giving it a marvelously musical tone.

Mapex | Black Panther BLADE BPST4551LN

Build
The cheapest Panther, the Blade is no more shabby for that. The 14"x5 1/2", 1mm steel shell has a just-visible internal vertical join and turned-over traditional 45 degree bearing edges.
The shell and all the hardware are finished in a brushed metallic grey, giving the drum a more expensive image. It was also exactly round by our measurements.

Hands on
Steel may be the low-cost option but it is a splendid material for snare drum shells. At medium tension you get a dry, dark, thick and parchment-like tone in the centre, but when you catch the rim it rings out like a - well, like a steel drum.

The timbre is not as varied or complex as maple, say, but crunchier, so your double strokes are distinct and keen.


The shell matches perfectly with the new Sonic Saver hoops and rim shots and cross-sticks are a joy, cutting through with ease. That distinctive steel ping is what you need to power just about any band.

Mapex | Black Panther CHERRY BOMB BPCW3550CNCY

Mapex | Black Panther CHERRY BOMB BPCW3550CNCY
Build
As its name implies, the Cherry Bomb is made from cherry wood - and to emphasise the connection the shell is finished in a dark red cherry stain and gloss lacquer. The inside is left a natural warm ruddy brown.The cherry has a pleasingly striated dark grain, offset by the chrome hardware, making this a pretty drum. The thin 5.1mm shell is a compact 13"x5 1/2" and has well-cut, sharp bearing edges.

Hands on
Dropping the diameter by an inch makes quite a dramatic difference to your snare. The sound becomes tubbier and more compact. The cherry imparts a full, plump, right-in-the-middle sort of sound, which is extremely pleasing, both warm and precise.
The 1:9 bearing edges with the sharp edge right on the outside of the drum means the sensitivity extends right to the rim.

We were impressed by the way the full bodied centre sweet spot extended almost two thirds of the way towards the edge of the shell. It's aided by the single ply Remo Coated Ambassador batter which is ideal for this small drum.
