Overview
With tone that’s slightly sweeter and more full-bodied than maple, the Black Panther Cherry Series is distinctive in both its sound and its looks. The high-gloss natural finished drums are appointed with 24K Gold lugs and hoops for an extra touch of luxury.
Despite this model being listed in the catalogues simply as "Cherry", every example I've seen comes with the Deep Forest badge, and as a result I've included that branding in the title. To be honest, I'm not sure why they dropped the Deep Forest brand from the catalogues, but continued to badge the drums with it. If I get any information on this, I'll update the listings.
There are two versions of this shell in the 2007 catalogues - the Wax Natural version is in the 2007 International catalogue, whereas the 2007 International catalogue features this Gloss Natural version; this one continues in the next few catalogues. Same shell, slightly different finish, but with two separate catalogue numbers.
