Mapex 6.5 x 14" Black Panther Sledgehammer Snare Drum

The Black Panther series features 14 unique snare drums, each with its own shell materials and dimensions.

Features:

• Piston Throwoff - requires minimal effort, and has a 'micro-lock' adjustment dial that physically (but not audibly) clicks when adjusted.
• Sonic Saver Hoops - riding somewhere between a die cast hoop and a triple-flanged hoop; it provides the stability to give the drum very powerful rim shots, but is light enough to not hinder the vibrations of the shell. The rounded profile of the rim also extends the life of your sticks.
• Cylinder Drive Strainer - the bearings in this strainer are self-lubricating, giving you a smooth operation
• Premium Snare Wires - stainless steel snare wires give the drum a dry, crisp sound.

The Sledgehammer has a 1.2mm hammered brass shell and a 45-degree bearing edge. They don't call it a Sledgehammer for no reason - this drum is not one for subtlety. It will smash its way through any amount of noise.
