2010 Mapex Black Panther demo with Steve White and Craig Blundell part 1

[whitenoiseheaven]

Steve White.... real decent guy would recommend any young drummer to check him out, not just his playing but his attitude! Good attitude guys and your half way there!

[norwag90]

I totally fell in love with Sledgehammer. And probably I'll have an opportunity to own it soon :D I rly hope so!

[mastersound66]

yeah they love them that much that blundell switches to premier... ha ha.. shallow or what?

[dudewuttheheck]

@mastersound66 he was very kind in his words to mapex even after he switched. I think he got a VERY good position at Premier. Something more than just an endorsing artist.

[SkyRocketGamers]

My favorite black panther snare is the Velvetone,thumbs up if its yours too

[cubano33091]

if only i wasn't an inner city boy, and i actually had some money to spend on a decent drum set -_-.. (sigh)

[TheDudeWithTheDrums]

What is that 7:42 snare?:O

[paulvenkman]

@TheDudeWithTheDrums

When they started to play the two drums the names appeared on the bottom left of the screen. The snare being played at 7:42 is called 'Blade' and the one next to it is called 'Machete'.

[TheDudeWithTheDrums]

@paulvenkman Thx, I just ordered it!:D

[MforceArts]

thinking about getting the black widow or the panther :]

[TONYFUNKYDRUMMER]

black window and the panter is best...;)

[TONYFUNKYDRUMMER]

black window...;)

[schmirtygurt]

I've just ordered my first Black Panther (Premium Walnut - Brown Sugar Burst). I just hope it sounds as good as the last drum Craig (left in the video) plays. I love that sound. Rough and soulful. Steve White is one of the reasons I learnt to play drums. He created so many creative drum parts and fills. Changing Man - Paul Weller was the first I heard and I loved the simplicity of it's driving rhythm.

[Poulmy]

I'm watching this vid over and over :D I love how Black Panther snares sound.

[soulchildish]

think you must really test the drums in store, so please ignore this comment, i'm just fooling around. 1:16 1:55 2:38 3:31 4:39 4:45 7:24 7:32 7:42 7:49

[seabgb]

NIcely done, guys.

[zobazoba69]

those guys look like they are having fun!

[exxxe1988]

Very nice!!! i like so much the "Brass Cat"

[AEJS1]

I met Craig the other day at college when he was doing a Roland demo. He really is AMAZING. Did a quick clinic with him, baffled my brain.

[paulvenkman]

The Panther, The Machete [As main snares] or The Blaster [As main or second snare] for me.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

my favorite is the Fat Bob!!!

[SimonVicFirth]

Haha, 6:22 is great. "Very nice!" "Pff thank you :D"

[allmetaliswelcome]

i have a question, hope that someone can help me on this:

i would like to have a snaredrum that kinda sounds like the one brann dailor used in 2004 (for sound, check out mastodon - iron tusk) but i havn't got the faintest idea what snare drum has that kinda sound.

thx

luuk from holland

[armyrisingofficial]

@allmetaliswelcome I might be able to help,i recently bought a Mapex MPX birch 14" snare online,if tuned at a high pitch it really can sound like it! Jus my opinion,also a cheap snare drum for the quality of it!

[allmetaliswelcome]

@armyrisingofficial thanks a bunch man! ill check it out

[Mp5Drummer]

Count the amount of times Craig says absolutely, it's brilliant!

[xxxswoodyxxx]

these guys are so proper english i love it

[ShadowAura91]

My favorite is the Machete.

[paulvenkman]

@ShadowAura91

Same the Machete would be the ideal steel drum for me though I must admit the one next to it sounded good as well.

[iami1231]

Maybe , I'll get the Sledgehammer tomorrow *-*

[alucard0712]

same thing.those are really best snare drums i've hear, and i can't choose between them(((

[w9jon]

@alucard0712 There's only one solution... get them all!!!!

[alucard0712]

@w9jon And there's only one problem...money!!!

[w9jon]

@alucard0712 Well then all you have to do is rob a bank... simple

[alucard0712]

@w9jon yes but it leads to another problem...cops.for all we pay!))) but BP snare is my new dream!and one day i take it!!!

[w9jon]

@alucard0712 to be honest. I know for a fact that Blundell has been using the Sledgehammer and has said it is "a beast"

[boysieboy93]

ive got the brass cat, and i love it. you can keep it low and fat sounding for rock and metal but also xcan crank it up for a nice pop funk sound. the rimshots are fantastic too (:

[EskilNaige]

Good video, but daaaaamn those drums are tuned high! I'd love to hear them tuned lower and fatter, I just think snares lose a lot of their character and power when cranked as tightly as those were. A good tuning for funk and fusion, but mostly useless for fat rock backbeats.

[Blunderdrum]

Thanks guys, it was a great day

[heavilygroovey]

How many companies do you see out there that come up so fast with such good products at such great prices? none! only Mapex.

Mapex is definately setting the bar higher. Now when you go to a store and you hesitate between Sonor, Tama, Pearl you also see the Mapex kit and hesitate no more.

[suthiti]

Great job Steve !

[premierdrummer1]

Thanks Guys! Awesome playing and great Drums! I am wanting them all, but the steel ones seem most versitile for me! Great demo!

[DThrasher667]

Thanks!!! Awesome video! Cheers!

[ScottyA328]

all of those drums sound so good that i cannot choose!!!
