Overview
Black Panther Phosphor Bronze Snares produce a unique sound that possesses the clarity and brightness that you would expect from a metal shell, but with a warmth and depth of a wood snare drum. The hand hammered versions create an even more distinctive, drier sound.
The example in the main photo and similar with the Powerhoops and mixed Precious Metal badge is in my personal collection.
The other shots of this version are courtesy of Bob Holmes. Thanks once again Bob.
The version with the tall rectangular Black Panther badge and Die-Cast hoops is owned by Warren Armstrong. Cheers Warren.
Julio from Neko Music in Japan has retrofitted his with more modern brass Sonic Savers. 有難うございます!
