Overview
The deep, dark, rich tone of the Black Panther Brass Series produces distinct and crisp overtones at a high tuning while maintaining a dry and controlled response at the mid-range. At a low tuning, the Black Panther Brass Snare delivers the deep and driving punch that you feel as clearly as you hear.
This is the older model released in 2005 with the Black Chrome finish rather than the Natural Polished Brass one. This particular version has chrome hoops which isn't listed as an option for any other version. It only appears in the 2006 catalogue, after which the brass snares were only available in polished brass. According to an article in Modern Drummer, this was intended as a cost-reduced option, although exactly how much cost saving there is in using chrome, rather than black chrome, hardware is up for debate.
