BLACK PANTHER DRUM COLLECTION
sound the way you’ve always dreamed
Based on its successfully distinctive snare drum series, Mapex has taken this highly progressive design
philosophy, extended it across an entire collection of unique drums and created the Mapex Black Panther
drum Series. Black Panther drums feature boldly unique shell formulas with specially designed bearing
edge profiles to create distinctive tone and voice. With the Black Panther Series, Mapex speaks to the
artistic side of every drummer by giving them drums that bring life to the sound they have only heard in
their dreams.

The blaster
Mapex launches the Black Panther Drum Collection with The Blaster. What makes the Blaster
unique from all other Mapex Drums is the precise selection and combination of shell design, shell
materials, hoop and drum heads. Mapex started with a thin traditional 5.1mm American maple shell,
