Straight out of Mapex’s extraordinary Black Panther Design Lab collection comes the menacing Goblin snare drum: a true secret weapon snare with a killer tone and superb playability. Courtesy of its 6-ply, 5.1mm all-walnut shell construction, the Goblin lays an exceptionally deep tonal foundation that’s both hefty and rampant with sonic intricacy. However, drummers have found that its 5.5-inch x 12-inch dimensions add a tighter responsiveness that’ll keep beats as crisp as you need them, rendering it a perfect auxiliary snare candidate to easily straddle your hi-hat and slice through mixes. Complete with center-mounted B-lugs and inward-flanged Sonic Saver hoops, the Goblin will respond with a more natural presence, especially when rim-shotting, combining the impact of die-casts with the weight relief of a triple-flanged set. Black brushed chrome hardware and its dark, natural walnut exterior give the Goblin a mystically earthy appeal that’ll settle into any configuration with confidence!

FEATURES 

SONIClear™ Bearing Edge

The SONIClear™ Bearing Edge is standard on all BP Snare drum shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head-to-edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the Hybrid shell to stand out.

Air Flow Venting

One of the most thrilling elements of playing Black Panther Snare Drums is the feel of the instrument. The Air Flow Venting is key to this feel and to the overall resonance of each shell. Through a painstaking testing process, each Black Panther model has been fitted with the ideal quantity of vent holes for this ultimate feel combined with premium sound & resonance.

Cylinder-Drive Strainer

The Cylinder-drive strainer and butt side adjustment use a self-lubricating bearing to insure smooth operation. The adjustment knobs employ “micro-lock” technology providing precise tension control.

Rich Walnut Tone

The Goblin's all-walnut shell produces a deep, warm sound with a naturally balanced frequency response. Its distinct tonal character is perfect for adding a rich, organic quality to your drumming.

Compact Powerhouse

At 12x5.5", the Goblin is a versatile drum that packs a surprising punch. Its size makes it ideal for tight, articulate playing, while still delivering the resonant warmth walnut is known for.
