@TheJammyboy1 Hmmm, well could be the Velvetone, the Black Widow, or something from a older era. Hope this helps!

which of all the mapex black panthers are good for death metal?

[discohunter12]

@mayox1234567 Depends on what you're after, Quite a lot of metal drummers love that awesome steely ringy sound you can get from a steel snare, sort of similar to this or perhaps the blade (my snare has an awesome ring to it, look up 'black panther kung fu snare.' Some of them love a huge powerful crack, possibly like the phatbob or the sledgehammer and some of them love a very high pitched poppy snare like the stinger

[sexypoulpe]

@mayox1234567 this one ! lol check for example latest videos of Blastphemer he plays this very snare

[DutchTheory]

can you make a video where you show us how u tune em :D?

[DrumCenterNH]

@DutchTheory Good idea!

[DutchTheory]

@DrumCenterNH would be really cool, if its not to much work for you guys making it :P

[BlackPantherDrummer]

i've got this snare and love it. i can't believe how awesome it sounds and how cool the name is haha :P

[Hooray4drums]

Medium tuning <3

[defmusik1]

Hey, i just got one of these and hav been trying so hard to get the low tuning! wat skins are you using and how do you tune them? at the moment i got emperor x on mine and been messing round with bob gatzen tuning.. sounds cool but i want something low and tight like this. Any help would be much appreciated cheers!

[DrumCenterNH]

@defmusik1 The heads in all our videos are the stock heads that ship with each drum. The stock heads on this drum are a coated Remo Ambassador on top and a clear Remo Ambassador on the bottom.

It may be that your Emperor X is too thick / heavy to produce the sound you want. If you still have the original batter that shipped with the drum, put it back on and give it a try. If you need a new one, let us know via email -- andy[at]drumcenternh[dot]com

[defmusik1]

love the low tuning

[94Madbassist]

sounds like a cross with phat bob and the panther am definatley saving for this one

[premierdrummer1]

Hey Shane, I have played this drum along with the Blade side by side and to be honest there isnt that huge of a difference if any...I dont understand why mapex made this and the blade? that one inch does nothing...same drum..anyway the new Panthers are great!

[Mp5Drummer]

@premierdrummer1 You may not notice it up close, but when you mic it up and listen to it out front at a show... You'll notice it then. The extra depth just gives it that bit more power, and a stronger backbeat.

[sirduckfuck]

@premierdrummer1 one inch does make a difference, maybe you need your ears checked.

[andypandy133]

@sirduckfuck exactly, if it didnt snare drums would all be one size ha ha

[krustykarl]

I just bought this drum from these guys. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

[HeavyMetalen666]

Siiiiiick, I definitely am buying this one
