Overview
Only 100 of these signature snares were ever made, during the relatively brief era when Terry Bozzio was a Mapex endorsee, after he left Remo and before he joined DW in 1995.
Technically it's pre-Black Panther but let's face it, all Mapex signature snares are honorary Black Panthers regardless of when they were made. I haven't listed this under Japan only, but the vast majority of photos and send-hand listings are from Japan. Draw your own conclusions.
I've had to use photos from a couple of sources aroud the Net, since these are almost impossible to track down. I'll credit them here since I honestly couldn't see a way to contact them to ask permission.
If you are lucky enough to have one of these snares I'd love to get a few images from you.
