Black Panther Goblin
Emerging from the Mapex Black Panther Design Lab, the Goblin Snare Drum is a compact tonal powerhouse that combines deep, dark walnut tone with fast, articulate response. Whether you’re looking for an expressive auxiliary snare or a compact main snare with attitude, the Goblin delivers a unique sonic character and unmatched playability.
6-Ply Walnut Shell
Crafted from 6 plies of all-walnut, the 5.1mm shell produces a bold and earthy tone with pronounced low-end richness and a dry, focused attack — ideal for modern drummers seeking depth and clarity.
Tight and Articulate Size
With dimensions of 12×5.5, the Goblin responds quickly and precisely, making it an excellent choice as an auxiliary snare for side mounting near your hi-hats or as a compact main snare with extra bite.
Sonic Saver Hoops and Center-Mounted B-Lugs
Sonic Saver hoops offer the projection and rimshot feel of die-cast hoops while being lighter and more forgiving on sticks. Paired with center-mounted B-lugs, the Goblin achieves a balanced tone and stable tuning across a wide dynamic range.
Dark Aesthetic with Premium Hardware
Finished in a natural walnut stain and adorned with black brushed chrome hardware, this snare brings a visually striking yet understated aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into any setup.
