FEATURES
W E K N OW.
J U S T B RE ATH E .
Sonic Saver Hoops
The unique shape of the Sonic Saver Hoop
reduces wear and tear to sticks, makes the
drum easier to tune, enhances the sound of
rimshots, and won't choke the shell’s vibration.
All resulting in much greater resonance.
Cylinder-Drive Strainer
The cylinder-drive strainer and butt-end adjuster
uses a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth
operation. The adjustment dial employs “micro-lock”
technology that provides precise control.
Premium Snare Wires
All Black Panther Snare Drums feature stainless
steel snare wires for crisp, lively action.

Bone-dry, winter-sharp; the
ghost notes whisper while the
backbeat wails. This drum will
haunt you from beyond the gig.
Distinctive to the ear and classic
to the eye. This drum is great at
turning heads with its focused
and bright sound.
Bring out the blade for a sleek
appearance that carves deep
into any groove with its tone.
Be careful! It will cut!
The big brother to the Blade,
this drum is for when you need
monster cut to make it through
the thickest guitar sounds.
This brass snare is easy on the
eyes and mellow on the ears
with its warm and open tone.
But it’ll bite when played hard.
Bring in the heavy equipment.
Its very distinct bright and
focused pitch hammers through
the heaviest walls of sound.
Count down before hitting this
one. Its loud and dry response
produces an ear-shattering
backbeat.
Get in or get out because this
snare ain’t waitin’. A high-tuning
range and deep shell delivers a
dry, dark tone with some pop.
With its extra thick shell, rounded
bearing edges, and deep snare
bed, Phatbob can barely button
its pants with all that body.
This full-bodied snare drum
is deadly with its dark and
focused tone. It’s ideal for an
all-round main snare.
Possessing a mix of fury and
deadly precision, this drum delivers
an intense, dark punch when
tuned low and an explosive pop
when cranked high.
With a balance of power and finesse,
this one can handle it all. It possesses
sensitivity for brushes, articulation
for light sticking, and control for big
back beats.
Don’t fall under a spell cast by its
beautiful and seductive looks.
This drum is warm and focused.
Be careful when handling her.
Crank it up and hit it hard. The
Stinger is a perfect auxiliary
snare delivering a sharp crack.
Hit it! It’ll only hurt for a second.
