    12 x 5.5 Traditional Maple / Maple Deluxe (Flat Black)

Overview

The ultra-thin shell of the Black Panther Traditional Maple Snare series produces a reliable, earthy response that’s been embraced by players for generations. No matter what size you prefer, the Black Panther Traditional Maple Snare delivers equal tone at any tuning.

Bit of a rarity this model. Although it was part of the initial Black Panther range, it was retired early and you don't see many of them on the second hand market these days.
