The Mapex Black Panther Razor snare drum is built for drummers who demand sharp articulation, high-end brilliance, and a cutting presence in any musical setting. Featuring a 6-ply maple shell and a shallow 14 x 5-inch design, this snare delivers an edgy snap with fast response and consistent performance across all dynamic levels. Its bright tonal character allows it to slice cleanly through dense mixes while maintaining clarity and control.
Engineered with advanced shell design and precision hardware, the Razor snare provides effortless tuning, enhanced resonance, and smooth snare adjustment, making it suitable for both live performances and studio recording.
6-Ply Maple Shell
Constructed from 6.0 mm maple, the shell produces a bright, articulate tone with strong projection and a responsive attack, ensuring clarity at both low and high dynamics.
Soniclear Bearing Edge
The 45-degree Soniclear bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flatter against the shell, increasing shell vibration for a deeper fundamental pitch, wider tuning range, and consistent tuning stability.
Air Flow Venting System
Optimized air vent placement improves shell resonance and overall feel, delivering a lively response with enhanced sustain and balanced tonal depth.
Cylinder-Drive Snare Strainer
A self-lubricating bearing system ensures smooth operation, while micro-lock adjustment provides precise snare tension control and reliable performance.
Triple-Flanged Hoops
Durable triple-flanged hoops offer controlled overtones and a balanced feel, contributing to the snare’s crisp response and dynamic sensitivity.
Shallow Bright Sound Profile
The 14 x 5-inch depth produces a sharp, fast snap with high-end brilliance, making this snare ideal for styles that require clarity and cut.
