Versatile Snare from the Black Panther Series

Stadium rock to studio hip-hop. State fair bluegrass to side-stage metal. No matter what the style or setting, the maple/walnut Mapex Pegasus snare puts the classic Mapex sonic signature to work for your music. The Pegasus's shell is constructed from eight plies of crisp and cutting maple and walnut, capped with SONIClear bearing edges and classic triple-flanged hoops to maximize tone, warmth, and tuning range. This translates to a sound that is resonant, focused, warm, and bold, with output for the stage and plenty of character under close mics. Mapex's Saturn series lugs and tri-vent system give the Pegasus snare that coveted Black Panther visual appeal. And with its extra-deep/extra-wide snare beds and cylinder-drive dual-adjustment throw off, the Pegasus can be dialed in for precision sensitivity. Looking for a great starting point for your next music project? Consider the Mapex Black Panther Pegasus 14-inch maple/walnut snare drum from Sweetwater.

  • Size: 5.5 inches x 14 inches
  • Brings the classic Mapex snare flavor to modern players
  • 8-ply, 6.85mm maple/walnut shell delivers excellent heat and character

Incredible
Another gem in the Mapex snare line. This thing sounds unbelievable at any tuning and has a tremendous amount of versatility. Look is stunning and I love the Mapex hoops on these Black Panther snares. Rim shots are beautiful and the overall feel of the snare is a pleasure to play. Thanks!
