the Black Panther Persuader snare’s brass shell is hammered to elicit maximum dryness and complexity. This translates to a sound that requires very little muffling at any tuning, cranked or relaxed. The Persuader snare features a 1.2mm hammered brass shell that is slightly undersized to allow the batter and snare-side heads full freedom of movement under any condition. This means whether you’re cranking up onstage or laying back in the studio, the Black Panther Persuader is primed to give you memorable performance. The 6.5" depth gives the Persuader snare a fat and focused attack under close mics, making this snare an essential for any well-stocked studio. Flanged Sonic Saver hoops on rolled metal SONIClear bearing edges maximize the Persuader’s tone, warmth, and tuning range. And with its extra-wide snare beds and cylinder-drive dual-adjustment throw off, the Mapex Black Panther Persuader brass snare drum can be dialed in for precision sensitivity
