Overview

6KG of unadulterated honk. This thing is RARE. Discontinued soon after its release (due to being expensive and heavy) it only appears in the catalogues between 2010-2012.

The ultimate Black Panther Snare Drum features a sensitive feel, big volume and a warmer sound than you would ever expect from a metal drum.
