    14 x 5.5 Thomann Maple Special Edition

Overview

Another Thomann exclusive, with a standard 5.1mm Black Panther Maple shell but with a Saturn throw-off. If you have one and the Thomann badge is annoying you, apparently you can removed the vent cover and take it off. Not sure I'd bother, but your milage may vary. 

It was originally sold for €139 in 2009. From the Thomann listing...

Mapex 14"x5,5" Special Thomann Edition Black Panther Snare Drum, Finish: Transparent Black, Chrome Hardware, Die Cast Hoops, Maple Wood Shell, with the excellent combination of Maplewood and Die Cast Hoop comes this Special Edition with an excellent dynamic Sound, with smooth and warm Mids and Bass but with a Bite Rimshot, a real Panther Sound.
