The Korena take
Mapex’s Black Panther Design Lab Cherry Bomb is a 13 x 5.5-inch snare built around a medium-thick Cherrywood shell. Mapex uses the shell’s softer density to absorb higher overtones, resulting in the warm, focused response and punchy backbeat described for this model. It revisits the original Black Panther Cherry Bomb with an optimized Design Lab approach, aiming for vintage sound and feel alongside modern precision, reliability, and function. The listed color finish is black.
