Mapex has introduced the Black Panther Dynamic Steel Collectors Edition Stainless Steel Etched Snare Drum. This unique snare is limited to only 100 units in the United States and is only being sold through authorized Five-Star Drum Shops. The drum's stainless steel shell is reverse etched with a tribal tattoo pattern and is finished with a classic rounded bearing edge for rich warm tone.
The 14 x 5.5 Dynamic Snare is equipped with Mapex 2.3mm Chrome Powerhoops and Remo drumheads. The batter drumhead is silk-screened with a tribal pattern to match the drum. Each unit comes in its own hard shell, padded carrying case. The limited edition drums come with serialized stickers on the inside of the shell and a corresponding certificate of authenticity.
"We're very proud to introduce such a unique snare drum to the market," said Joseph Vasko, Vice President and General Manager for Mapex USA. "The Five-Star Group of Drum Shops has been very supportive of Mapex and we'd like to thank them by making this special instrument exclusive to their stores."
Suggested list price for the Black Panther Dynamic Steel Collectors Edition Stainless Steel Etched Snare Drum is $599.99. Mapex is accepting advance dealer orders on the product, which will ship in mid-June 2006. Exclusive P.O.P. counter cards and bonus website promotion will be used to introduce the product to market.
