Orion & Saturn Snares
Brothers from Another Mother /
Sisters from Another Mister
Produced to match Mapex Orion and Saturn Kits, these snares are Black Panthers in all but badge; same hardware, same quality construction. They deserve the same love and attention. I mean - just look at these random examples!

The Mapex Black Panther Archive is a fan project, aimed at celebrating the world's best snares. It is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by Mapex, KHS, or any local distributer.
