BLACK PANTHER DESIGN LAB
The Mapex Black Panther series has been the “top-of-the-line” for Mapex drums since its launch in 2010. The new Black Panther Design Lab systems, are nothing short of breakthroughs in instrument design, learning from 30 years of engineering, innovation, artistry, and the science of drum manufacturing to develop a completely new system of drums. While most drum manufacturers choose materials and build prototypes before involving artists, Mapex Design Lab utilizes the Concept Hybrid Approach, and includes artists from the start. Utilizing the concept of sound first, The Design Lab Team uses its extensive knowledge of drum manufacturing to make that sound a reality for the new Black Panther Design Lab series.
