Mapex introduces special edition Black Panther etched stainless steel Kung Fu snare drum.

Mapex has introduced a special edition Black Panther etched stainless steel snare drum inspired by the ancient Chinese Martial Art of Kung Fu. The 14x5.5 snare drum has a 1mm stainless steel shell that has been black chrome plated and then etched with graphics representing the various disciplines of the art of Kung Fu.

“This special snare is very symbolic,” says Sami Kizilbash, Mapex Product Manager for SF Marketing in Canada. “The art of Kung Fu, like the art of drumming, requires discipline, concentration and practice in order to become a true master of the craft.”

The seven symbols that surround the drum represent the arsenal of Kung Fu weaponry: spear, hammer, wand, knife, fist, sword and bow.

In addition to the ornamental steel etching, the batter head of the drum is also emblazoned with the symbols of Kung Fu and the Chinese Symbol for Black Panther in red.

The Black Panther Kung Fu Snare Drum (BPST455KFU) comes with a semi-rigid, padded Black Panther carrying case, which has a retail value of $149.00.
