14 x 5.5 Kung Fu Stainless Steel

Overview

Black plated stainless steel shell, etched with graphics representing the arsenal of Kung Fu weaponry: spear, hammer, knife, sword and bow.

Included special edition drum head and heavy duty padded carrying case. Produced in 2007.

Note: If you look at the single "catalogue shot" (on the white background), you'll see that the first graphic and the order of the others don't match the actual production model. Also, the badge says "Kung Fu" in addition to the Chinese characters. Not 100% sure what that example is supposed to be; I'm guessing a pre-production prototype, artist's rendering or review sample? Certainly you see that image quite a bit, but it's always in a press release or early review - you never see an actual drum that matches those graphics. Any information gratefully received. Also, be a bit suspicious of anyone using that shot in a listing on an auction site - I'd ask to see pictures of the actual snare!
