14 x 4¾ Satoru Tatai Signature Snare Japan Only
BSM1475BP
Super Unicorn
At first blush you might think, as I did, that this is a Russ Miller Versatus. But it's not. It predates the Versatus and is actually the signature snare of Japanese drummer Satoru Tatai (田々井悟). Tatai San asked for a special depth of drum; something like the 4" deep Sonor Lite one used by h...

Super Unicorn
What do you do when you've collected 6 impossible snares before breakfast? How about tracking down this rejected prototype for the Mapex Japan / Beyond Shimano 20th Anniversary Masquerade snare! Ignore the 10/50 serial as I doubt 50 were ever made Both the design and the shell were rejected for ...

14 x 6.5 The Retrosonic
BPWB4650CNEN
Super Unicorn
Just when you think you've captured all the models from the 2010-2019 era, along comes this rarity. I spotted this in July 2022 in one of the photos Ariel de Leon sent me of his extensive (and I do mean extensive!) collection of Black Panthers. After doing a double-take and querying it with Ariel...
