About Hammered Snare Drums

The carefully hammered shells of the Black Panther Hammered snare drums create an unevenly walled acoustic chamber, much like the multi-faceted surfaces of better recording studios. When combined with easy-to-use throw-offs, nylon washers and low-mass lugs, the result is a drum that gives the player unmatched harmonics and superior articulation. Choose between the brightness of steel, the depth of brass or the richness of phosphor bronze.

Hammered Brass

You can expect the same sensitivity and ear-splitting volume as the other Black Panther Brass snare drums possess, but the hand hammered shell gives this beauty a more open and a slightly more controlled sound.
