New Mapex Black Panther "Cherry Bomb" 5.5x13 Snare Drum

[FluffyMuffina]

I bought this snare for $300 even at my local music shop. It was tuned pretty well already, but I did some fine tuning, and it's one of the best snares I have ever played on.

Hello Shane, I'd like to get some help here. I'm looking for a snare drum that is going to produce crisp, sensitive ghost notes and unrivaled crack from rimshots. Also, I can't stand dry snare drums. I want something that is just going to sing, sing, and sing some more. I'm thinking that a smaller drum, around 14 X 5.5, is going to work best for me, but I'm not quite sure. Any drums you'd recommend for this sound?

This is my favourite sounding snare of the new Panthers I've heard so far. Blaster is also quite nice.

[FRIESENZA]

medium tuning is the best for every drum.

[SilencePenguin]

[cmallon02]

Udrum Cherry Bomb is better than this.

[TheDrummerAK]

@Jahipleef that drum is made of aluminum.. not actual cherry

[Jahipleef]

@TheDrummerAK I know. I'm not retarded. I'm just comparing because of the name.

[FRIESENZA]

@Jahipleef but it's steel...

[Jahipleef]

@FRIESENZA It's aluminum... And does it matter what it's made of? I personally prefer the Udrum Cherry Bomb, the only reason I was comparing was because of the name. I know they are two completely different snares.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@Jahipleef No

[TheForeverDrums]

What heads are you using?

[DrumCenterNH]

@TheForeverDrums Just the stock heads that come on the drum. Remo Ambassadors.

How do you guys tune

[09yodiggydog]

would you recommend this snare drum over the retrosonic?

[deftdrummer]

Thanks for the video. I really like the sound of the drum. Only difference is it comes off kinda cheap compared to the other option I may go with which is a mapex Birds Eye Black Panther or a Pearl 6.5x14 free floating snare.

I really want the Pearl, and these alternatives just keep making me want it more. I'm not bashing, I just can't make up my mind!

[SamsIndieDrumCovers]

brought this Snare today :D absaloutely amazing, can't believe I was living with the standard snare that came with my kit 3 years ago! D:

:D

They discountinued the Chris Adler Signature Black Panther Snare, so this is probably the next best I'm planning on getting... But I really wanted that Chris Adler Snare...

[Shivenis]

Haven't you a review for the "Black widow" one? :/

[Pandanobear]

Wow that lower tuning was impressive. 

[imdarrellkthx]

is there a such thing as a 13x8 black panther?

[dw9906]

wow. usually i hate lower tuning. but i've never heard anything like the sensitivity and nice fat attack that gives tuned low.

[Love4Drums1]

Hey , Nice video. I was wanting to buy a new snare for myself , And I'm a metal drummer , I like cutting loud snares.. Like the chris adler signature. I love it , But its been discontinued , So I have second thoughts in my mind for it. Can you suggest me some snares ? And whether should I just go with the chris adler one or not ?

Thanks :)

[NeilPeartJunior]

@Love4Drums1 Dude, if you haven't already bought a new snare, I would recommend this, it's the best snare, personally, that i've ever played, it cuts straight through any other instruments live, but not so much that it overpowers them. In all it's a brilliant snare and, again, if you haven't gone for the Chris Adler I would highly recommend this one, not only for the near perfect sound, but for the sheer build quality, this one'll last you for years :)

[Brutaldrummer07]

@Love4Drums1 The Blade is Hella Legit too

[TwentiethCentury]

love the sound of this baby!

[FlameX15]

how much does this snare drum go for?

[MyManDan]

sounds like you banging on a piece of wood, in a really good way

[FPMB]

Yeah please do the blaster!

[jaykeldb15]

Are you gonna do a video for the "Blaster"

[DrumCenterNH]

Yes, any that we missed including the Adler will be done in a few weeks. Thanks for watching!

[devilspain]
