Overview
These 8mm Maple, chrome die-cast hoop snares only seem to be listed in the 1997 Black Panther Catalogue, at a time where Mapex seemed to be making a drum out of every material going and in every size imaginable - there's over 40 snares listed!
They're badged as "Bird's Eye Maple".
Photo from Audiofanzine used for reference under fair use. As usual, I don't like doing this, but I can't find any other reference image. If you happen to own one of these, or if these are your photos, please get in touch - I'd far rather use properly accredited images.
