BP DYNAMIC TRIBAL SNARE DRUM FROM MAPEX

Mapex has recently released the Black Panther Dynamic Tribal Snare drum. The drum features an unrivaled stainless steel shell with an impressive reverse-etched tribal pattern, a powerful round bearing edge and a matching tribal pattern REMO Weatherking Ambassador drumhead.

“Crack it like a whip and you’ll understand the full attack and explosive power of the Dynamic Tribal snare drum,” says Roger Ma, Mapex product manager.

This snare drum has already hit the road  with Kieron Pepper, drummer of Prodigy. Located in Taiwan, the Mapex R&D team grabbed the chance to have Kieron try the drum out when Prodigy came through on the last stop of their Asian tour. When Kieron saw the snare drum he couldn’t wait to take it on stage and experiment with  explosive, powerful sound of the Dynamic Tribal Snare snare. “That’s the coolest snare drum I have ever seen!” exclaimed Kieron.

Recently Black Panther was awarded Best Snare by the 2006 Mike Dolbear visitors polls! www.mikedolbear.com is one of the most visited drum sites in the UK. This kind of recognition from drummers is the best motivation for MAPEX to continue experimenting and pushing the boundaries of drumming.
