14 x 5.5 Thomann Amber Special Edition

14 x 5.5 Thomann Amber Special Edition

Another visually impressive Thomann Special Edition, this time in Amber Ash.  According to the in-depth review on Bonedo.de it's a great sounding snare for the money, with their only real issue being the throw-off not being as solid as they'd have liked and the heads could have done wi...

This is the 10th Anniversary Thomann Special Edition of the Mayan/Aztec.  Exact details are a tad hard to track down but according to a German viewer the shell spec is the same as the standard Mayan (if you can call such a rare and expensive drum "standard"!) but with a different finish.

14 x 5.5 Thomann Aztec (Black/Chrome)

Just when you think you've tracked down all the Mayan/Aztec versions, this shows up in a dark corner of the Pearl Dummers' forum. According to the forum post, it's another Thomann Special Edition of the Mayan/Aztec, but there's no other details. Even the original poster isn't sure about it. Thom...

14 x 5.5 Thomann Brown Special Edition

A very pretty 2013 Thomann exclusive, known rather underwhelmingly as the "Brown" special edition. According to the review below, the finish is Mapa Burl which is usually only found in much more expensive snares - indeed this does seem to be one of the higher-end Thomann specials. There a great ...

14 x 5.5 Thomann Maple Special Edition

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 fo...

14 x 5.5 Thomann Maple Special Edition (Powerhoops)

One more Thomann exclusive, with a standard 5.1mm Black Panther Maple shell but with a Saturn throw-off. Like all the Thomann specials, if the Thomann badge is annoying you, you can removed the vent cover and take it off.  It appeared on the Thomann site in 2011 (although the photo isn't ar...

One of two models released in November 2022 to surprisingly little fanfare, but spotted by Alex Wicheard (nice one - cheers Alex!). Both feature a shell that I haven't seen before in a Black Panther: a Maple-Birch-Walnut construction, including a burl finish. Moreover, unlike a few of the Thoman...

Another Thomann special Edition that I spotted on one of my random trawls around the net in March 2022. It was on an old listing from Horny's Drums and Jake himself was kind enough to send over the shots. Apparently this was actually one of his personal snares he had sold off, and to quote J...

14 x 6.5 Thomann Black Special Edition Maple

Another Thomann Special with rather sketchy specs that I'm doing my best to fill in. This one appeared on the Into Music eBay store /website  in November 2021, with no details apart from that it's maple, has die cast hoops and apart from a few marks on the head was in showroom con...

14 x 6.5 Thomann Blue Special Edition

Very little detail available on this particular Thomann Special. It's listed as the "Blue" Special Edition, but as someone else stated, looks more like Purple. Finished with a Mapa Burl outer ply and looks pretty damn good from what I can see. Pity the only photos available are from a Worthpoint ...

BPML4650KWU

One more snare that's currently in the "Here Be Dragons" category due to an almost complete lack of information.  The example in the main shot is owned by Graham Horton who posted it on one of the Mapex Drum Fan Facebook pages in December 2021 looking for any details about it. The previous ...

14 x 6.5 Thomann Flat Black Birch Special Edition

Details are still a little sketchy on this model, but the clever money is on it being a Thomann special edition, like (going by the badge) its slightly earlier), glossier twin with the die-cast hoops.  It was brought to my attention in September 2022 by Doral Vintila from Sweden. ...
