In 1995, Lamb Of God founding member and drummer, Chris Adler was browsing around a local drum
shop, searching for a snare drum to complete the drum set he planned on using for recording with his new
band. He wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for at the time, but he knew that the snare drum he chose
would play a large role in defining his sound.
Eventually, he came upon a snare drum that caught his eye. While its 12 x 5.5 size was somewhat out-ofthe-
ordinary, he quickly realized as he tuned it and played it that this instrument was the sound he had
been looking for — an articulate, yet explosive, artillery-like bang. That drum was a Mapex Black Panther
Snare Drum. Chris was so impressed that he purchased it on the spot and immediately began using it in the
studio and in the band’s live shows.
The Chris Adler Signature Snare Drum is Mapex’s first-ever signature snare drum. Every detail is meticulously
designed to Chris’s specifications. From the thin walnut shell, to the signature graphic (designed by Lamb
Of God designer K3n), to Chris’s personal choice of high-quality Aquarian drum heads.
