Sound Pure's Take

The Mapex Black Panther Cyrus snare drum revitalizes the sound of steel within the Black Panther series. Steel is known to be bright and piercing, but the 1mm shell helps offset that to provide a great balance of body and brightness. The Cyrus received the Design Lab Air Flow venting which delivers and even dispersion of air, minimizes some overtones, and provides a nice overall feel to the playability of this drum. If you've been searching for a versatile, classic-sounding snare that's ideal for live work, check out the Mapex Black Panther Cyrus 6x14 snare drum.

From Mapex

Compeletely redesigned, the Mapex Black Panther Snare Drum Line has undergone some serious upgrades.  Borrowing from the renegade Design Lab series snare drums, there has been some trickle down features that are now found on these new drums, like the Design Lab Air Flow Venting, and the Soniclear Snare Beds to provide enhanced sensitivity.  All bearing edges have the Soniclear edge for easier tuning and head seating, and the the Sonic Saver Hoops are standard on all drums.
