The Solidus is unshakable. This drum is a substantial instrument, with an 11 mm shell of 100% maple, producing a crack that has profound character, ripping through the music with a bottomless foundation. The Solidus is fitted with Mapex's proprietary Sonic Saver hoops, a middle ground between triple-flange and die-cast.

They’re made from steel that’s folded inward for a round shape instead of a flat flange. Sonic Savers control the tone for a drier sound than triple-flange, but they don’t deaden the drum the way die-cast hoops can. They also reduce wear on the drum and sticks.

The result is a focused snare with clean, punchy rim shots every time. 14x7" maple snare drum from the prized Black Panther seriesSonic Saver hoops are rounded to combine the benefits of triple-flange and die-castChrome hardware and distinctive panther silhouette badgeHoops, depth and thick maple shell combine for a deep wood "crack" with dry finish | Mapex Black Panther Solidus Snare Drum 14 x 7 in.
