DISC Mapex Black Panther Black Widow 5pc Shell Pack, Black Overview
Brooding style and menacing force. These are drums for the antihero. If Batman were to ever take up a more conventional career as a drummer, he'd almost certainly be playing Mapex's Black Panther Black Widow shells.
None more black, drums born of only the finest craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail make it into Mapex's elite and extremely limited range of Black Panther drum kits. Behold the Black Widow.

View Full DescriptionThe Black Panther Range
Following the Blaster, Velvetone and Retrosonic kits, Mapex's Black Widow is the fourth kit to join this esteemed range of elite drums. Produced in limited quantities, this only makes the Black Panther Series more desirable.
A thrilling balance of attack and warmth
The Black Widow shells provide everything you could hope for from a set of drums: firepower, body and spectacular response. Suitable for any genre, the thin, Maple wood shells' centered bearing edge maximises drumhead contact, which limits unwanted overtones and produces full-bodied sounds of the highest quality. With even the slightest bit of encouragement, these drums will ignite.
None more black
Look up 'black' in the dictionary and you might find a snap of the Black Widow drums perched atop an eerie cliff face in the night. You won't need a colour chart here. From the shells' glossy, transparent black lacquer finish to the nickel-plated lugs, Mapex's vision behind the kit's noir theme is nothing short of stunning.
Remo Suede drumheads
Emphasising sweetness over raw power, Remo's Ambassador thickness drumheads impart a sense of warmth that only improves the overall end product of the drums' sound.
Sonic Saver hoops
An exclusive Black Panther component, Mapex's Sonic Saver counterhoops further focus the Black Widow's overall sound with their unique profile - also reducing wear and tear on sticks while dramatically enhancing its response.
An investment you won't regret
It might be chump change for Bruce Wayne, but the Black Widow's price tag reflects the kit's masterly craftsmanship, ground shaking power and the guarantee of a lifetime's wonderment at its remarkable range of tones. Be the envy of all your drumming peers and acquaintances with a luxury kit sure to go down in history as one of Mapex's finest ever creations.
