Mapex Black Panther Design Lab ‘Versatus’ Features:
MAPLE/MAHOGANY HYBRID SHELL: The Maple/Mahogany hybrid shell offers a perfect blend of warmth and brightness, delivering rich tones with a dynamic response that elevates any performance.
SONIClear™ BEARING EDGE: SONIClear™ Bearing Edge is standard on all BPDL shells, allowing the drumhead to sit flatter on the shell, making better contact.
MASTER TUNE LUG: The Master Tune Lug utilizes a small body for the least amount of metal-to-wood contact. A Design Lab-exclusive pressured locking mechanism is outfitted on every lug to keep the drum in tune, show after show.
SONIC PEDESTAL FOOT: The steel leg is prevented from contacting the ground by an internal cotter pin, allowing the floor tom to “float” on the elevated “spring” of the rubber foot, eliminating vibration transfer and maximizing resonance.
CHAMBER SPECIFIC DESIGN: As the drums get larger in diameter,plies get progressively thicker, depths graduate by 1/2”, bearing edges change and the SAS ring system changes.
AIR FLOW VENTING: Air flow vents are placed at the *Nodal line with the lugs, so as not to affect the resonance of the shells. Through painstaking testing, each Chamber Specific approach has lead to a formula of multiple vent holes in BPDL series. Tom and bass drums have different combinations of vent holes.
SAS STATIC 90° FLOOR TOM LEG: The straighter the path to the floor, the more sound loss: the SAS Static 90˚ Floor Tom Leg resolves this issue, allowing the most possible resonance from the floor toms.
HALO MOUNTING SYSTEM: Using a lateral, unique “under lug-line” suspension system, this groundbreaking isolation mount allows the shell the freedom to have an open, pure tone.
HALO MOUNTING SYSTEM – SUSTAIN ADJUSTMENT KNOB: With the rubber gasket inside the mount, you can screw the knob down fully to dampen the shell resonance for a shorter decay, or back it off for a wide, open tone. In the studio, this allows you to “pre-EQ” your drums before feeding them into your plug-ins.
SAS ATTENUATING FLOOR TOM LEG: This BREAKTHROUGH eliminates the need for external muffling of your floor toms. Given that a straighter path to the ground through the floor tom legs results in greater loss of sound, the ability to alter their shape allows you to control the resonance. With options for every angle, even beyond 90˚ to a radical inverted position, the SAS attenuating floor tom leg™ makes unlimited real-time attenuation of your drums possible.
SAS RING SYSTEM: The Mapex Black Panther Design Lab uses a revolutionary process involving reinforcement rings. Mapex focuses on how the use of rings and their unique placement can affect the sonic character of the instrument. The bearing edge shape cuts were made through the reinforcement rings, as well as the drum shell’s wall so that the reinforcement rings became an element of the overall bearing edge shape. This additional thickness at the edges of the drum would also add some low-end and projection to the drums’ sound. These “Sonic” rings are distributed in varying degrees throughout the system.

It had some delays from the manufacturer (non of it was Drummers Only fault).Gordon (Drummers Only rep) was amazing, super responsive and kept chasing the order for me. The snare arrived and - oh - my - days - , what a beauty! Totally worth the wait and price!100/10 would recommend ordering from Drummers Only again!And once again, big thanks to Gordon! -

Fantastic shop for drum kit. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Plenty of scope to try before you buy. … More I have been in a few times with my son and there was no issue with him working his way through the crash and ride cymbal selections. Guys deserve a medal, either that or they all have earplugs in! We will be back again in the future, only other advice I will give any visitors is watch out for all the potholes on the entrance roads -

Been a long time customer of drummers only and will continue to be as long as they are trading (which … More hopefully is a long long time). Always normally Chris I deal with and they are always happy to help and advise on questions about equipment. Brought my 1 year old son in to the store today and he loved it. Anything that he can hit with a drum stick that will make a very loud noise he loves.... So... Easy to see why he enjoyed the store. I don't doubt he will become a customer as he grows older himself. Big thanks for the help today on the purchase. Will be seeing you guys again very soon for more personal bank emptying expeditions.Dougie. -

I had an enquiry about using another brand's tom holder on a Sonor kit. The enquiry is quite specific … More and in no way could benefit a wider audience. Nevertheless the customer service has been excellent. Chris took time to understand fully my problem, made several useful suggestions and took it upon himself to experiment with potential suggestions on his own kits and out of hours too. I cannot praise the service I've received highly enough but can absolutely recommend Drummers Only as a company to do business with. This is how you hope all companies would operate. -

Great service as always. Been buying almost all my gear (new and used) at Drummers Only since 2010. Numerous … More reasons but mainly the service and advice. I've dealt with most of the staff over the years, but mainly the now manager Chris who is a top lad and great asset to the store/company. Whether buying a new kit or a pair of sticks, he always takes time to give advice and support. This time it was a snare head; great advice on both selection and the black art of fitting & tuning. It's sounding sweet, thanks as always for the great service and support. THANKS CHRIS AND ALL AT DRUMMERS ONLY -

I'd been after an 18" floor tom for a while.Bought a second hand PDP. To be honest it doesn't … More even look second hand. Really happy with it especially as it was practically half the price! I'm in the recording studio tomorrow so it'll be being put to good use. Already rehearsed with it and it sounds pukka! Deep and booming. Can't recommend Drummers Only enough. Really happy and as always your goods are shipped prompt with lots of protection.
