Unique
A true one-off kit, this was specially built for long-time endorsee Craig Blundell in 2021* and was first used on the Steve Hackett Seconds Out tour. To quote Craig's Facebook post... Now is probably a good time to show you this very special rig as it’s the only one in existence. It...

SESV628XCME

Rare

Rare
This one is a tad "left field" as it doesn't really fit into any standard range; it's its own thing and even the badge is unique. It even had its own dedicated website - https://mapex30th.com/. Sadly this is now defunct and even the usually brilliant Wayback Machine can't get it to...

Mayan Tattoo Limited Edition

MXSW628SXMA

Unicorn

Unicorn
Although this is technically a Saturn kit, rather than a Black Panther, it's based off the Black Panther Mayan snare so I'm counting it as a member of the family. Not really sure why they used the Saturn branding to be honest, although it's probably be due to the 2 walnut/4 maple plys shell const...

The Blaster

The Blaster

BPL628XLWU (Meridian Mounts)
BPNL628XL (Saturn IV Mounts)

Like the name implies, Blaster packs a punch. The precise combination of shell design, shell materials, hoops and heads give the Blaster an extremely focused sound that can cut through a wall of sound. We started with a thin traditional 5.1mm American maple shell, added a 3.4mm walnut sound shapi...

The Sledgehammer - One-Off

Unique

Unique
This 8-piece Sledgehammer kit was produced in 2013, and was a one-off to take to drum shows, rather than a production item. Rumours have it that it was sold to a collector in Germany; should be easy to locate by the massive gravity well it would produce!!  The sizes are 8"x8", 10"x8", 12"x8...

With the exception of the colour, which is Artic White rather than transparent Black, this is the same spec kit as the Black Widow.  To quote Dan at Drumazon's spec for its darker sibling...  Made popular by Anika Nilles, this is an absolute sonic and visual masterpiece from Mape...
