Mapex Black Panther Cyrus BPNST4601CN 14x6" - Chrome

Product Description

The Mapex Black Panther Cyrus (BPNST4601CN) is a 14"x6" snare drum with a 1 mm steel shell that delivers a powerful cut and a full, controlled tone. The 6" depth lets you tune the drum up for extra bite without losing body, and each model in the Black Panther series is built around its own unique combination of materials and hoops.

• Sonic Saver Hoops add extra punch, projection and a comfortable rimshot feel
• SONIClear Bearing Edge (rounded 45°) makes the drum easy to tune with a long sustain
• Cylinder-Drive Strainer for smooth, precise snare action
• Remo Coated Ambassador batter head and Remo Ambassador Snare snare-side head
• 20-strand snare wires for fast snare response
• Chrome-plated hardware and shell

Sound Character

Mapex's SONIClear Bearing Edge moves the contact point between head and shell further toward the center, so the head sits more evenly on the shell. This makes the drum easier to tune and lets you tune it down further without losing control, while reducing the harshest overtones. The result is longer sustain and more low end and punch, at both low and high tunings. Sonic Saver Hoops keep the open, traditional drum sound but add extra stiffness compared to a standard triple-flanged hoop, giving more projection and a clearer rimshot without sacrificing dynamics.

Construction

The shell is 1 mm steel with a chrome finish, fitted with Mapex Sonic Saver Hoops. The bearing edge (SONIClear) is a rounded 45°. The strainer is a Cylinder-Drive Strainer, and the drum has 10 tension rods per side with chrome-plated hardware. The batter head is a Remo Coated Ambassador and the snare-side head a Remo Ambassador Snare, with 20-strand snare wires.

Who It's For

Cyrus suits drummers who want a steel snare with a brutal cut and sharp attack while still keeping dynamics and body in the sound. A solid choice if you're building an arsenal of snares for different musical settings.
