Overview
With its new high-gloss “Brown Sugar Burst” finish, the Black Panther Walnut Series is more beautiful than ever — and it still enjoys the same rich and saturating sonic advantages that it has always had.
This is the later Deep Forest Walnut series, with a thicker shell (8.5mm vs 5.mm), Die-Cast hoops and a different finish. With the exception of the 2009 UK Catalogue, it's listed as "Premium Walnut" rather than "Deep Forest", although there are examples with either badge. My personal theory is that they used their existing stock of the deprecated line's Deep Forest badges until they ran out, then switched to the Premium badges. They are the same snare though.
The main photo and similar is in my personal collection.
