Black Panther once again...

[Wizz]

Gentleman , I have travelled many different stores only to find the answer No , when i asked for it. Surfing many hours on the net didn't help neither.
Cuz After thousands of Sold out banners and overpriced shipping taxes i gave up hope , and nearly decided to put the money on new cymbals but now...
now my journey ends.
And I'm proud to present :D

Mapex Black Panther deep forrest snaredrum

14"x5.5"

[RushHourSoul]

Is that yours, or is it in a shop? It looks beautiful, Its not a deep forset though? They're orangey.

[ThugsRook]

youre the one thats been looking for this limited edition snare forever arent you? glad you finally found one :D

looks great :thumb:

[Wizz]

Thats the shops pictures , but thats the exact snare i'm getting :D

And yes i have been looking for so long after this beauty
Oh and this is the limited editition snare :D so no it doesn't look like the normal deep forrest drums cuz it's body painted
mmmmmmm

[RushHourSoul]

NICE!!! How much was it?

Thats probably my favourite finish black panther does, even more so than the other special edish hammered brass one. So many people have BPs now!

[Wizz]

499 € and only 10 € for the shipping :D

[RushHourSoul]

Amazing, well remember to post audio and pics when you recieve it!

[Wizz]

haha , i'm prolly not gonna dare to hit :D

Jep ill posts pics , and ill try to get audio to

awesome man. Great to see a snare that nobody else on here has.
Why do you think i bought it :D ?

Na joking it sounds awsome to!

To get some more info for you guys i found this :D

Because the Vavona Burlwood comes from a source exclusive to Mapex, the company will be the only drum manufacturer offering Vavona Burlwood drums. Vavona Burlwood is taken from the root area of the majestic California Redwood tree; California Redwood trees are a national treasure; however it is the Vavona Burlwood that comes from the Redwood that is truly exotic. Environmentally protected, the Redwood is not harvested, but is only removed when the tree dies from natural causes. It is the natural diseases that kill the trees that create the exotically figured Burlwood. Striking in look, the wood shows incredible strength and remarkable sonic qualities, making it an ideal wood for drum making. The Black Panther Limited Edition Vavona Burlwood Snare features black chrome hardware and the shell is finished in an oyster green tinted hi-gloss lacquer.
This is the another picture of the snaredrum

Haha , j/K , Na i searched for the Black Panther Limited snare for a pretty long time. Then i found them on massmusic , but i couldn't afford it there cuz shipping taxes would be to high.
So i started looking in Europe and then i found them

These are the 2 other limited editition snares , and i thought there even was a 4th type but i can't find it anyway the babylonion snare is soo nice

[RushHourSoul]

I've never seen that one before ^ :amaze:

[Wizz]

Me neither it's very rare , massmusic hasn't even got it.

[RushHourSoul]

Found another pic of it..

http://www.mikedolbear.com/Images/mapex%20Babylonian%20Finish%20Solid%20Steel%20snar e.jpg

Quite nice, not as nice as the one your getting though, that has to be my fav finish on the special edition ones. Although I like all the egyptian stuff.

[Wizz]

yeah indeed it doesn't look all that good in that picture

Anyways i love the finish i'm getting :D i think i'm gonna rewrap my drum in white

Oh btw Rush i just checked your solo's on soundclick :D very nice i love your soft playing

[Black Rose Immortal]

that's once nice snarei wish i had it lol. Hows that kinda wood form the bottom of a redwood tree sound is darker or brighter or what?

[Wizz]

I have no stinking idea cuz i'm only get it around wensday :D

[Black Rose Immortal]

u'll love it u know it nomatter how it sounds just having it would make me really happy

[Wizz]

Indeed i'm very happy

[Plan B.]

That hyrogliphics one is so great. What a cool idea for a finish.

[Wizz]

I've done some research and the only "official" Limited Edititions are the one i'm gettting and the Brass one.

So i'm a little confused in wich section the babylonion ( or Egyptional ) one should go. After looking it up in recent magazines wich had articles about BP
i found that they are called : The Black Panther Limited Editition Babylonion snare drum. Its a 14" x 5,5",Steel snare drum.

So i'm guessing Black Panther made a Limited Editition of all his types of snare. ( Steel , Brass , Forest ,...)
The Babylonion has killer finish , but the finish itself doesn't really come out good. If you look at the snare from 6 feet you nearly don't notice it has any graphics on it.
Anyways another picture , have fun :http://www.markstein.de/isroot/markstein/Files/Bild3/00007911.jpg

Oh and i thought BP had Evans as Stock heads? But this one shows Remo , so i guess i'm mistaking , anybody some info on this?

[steve_o_69]

I have one of the limeted edition Vavona Burl Black panthers ad mine came with Remo heads with the BP logo on it just like in the pictures

BEA..utiful snarees though! fantastic!

[Wizz]

Post pics of your snare dude i love BP :D

[Tommy-r]

[Wizz]

Yep , they have sended it to me yesterday so ill be expecting it today , or tommorrow

[Drum Phil]

The ****ty drummer I know who has the orion has the top snare, it sounds so bad, it sounds soft, snares with die cast hoops aren't supposed to sound soft, I should tune it then steal it.

[RushHourSoul]

He has a Lmtd edition black panther?? Bastard.

[steve_o_69]

nice shirt

[Det_Nosnip]

You know, that's a pretty drum and everything, and I'm sure it sounds great...but does it really matter what the damn thing looks like? I find it kinda troubling that you dumped this much money and made such a ridiculous search across the continent looking for something and you don't even know what it sounds like. It's a musical instrument...it's meant to be played on, not gawked at.

I would rather have a piece of trash snare that I love the sound of, then a super rare, expensive instrument I don't like.

[RushHourSoul]

Meh, its going to sound good, its BP.

I actually heard the sound before , and i really love Black Panther ,

It wasn't really the looks i was going for ( well maybe looks for 40%)
anyways i was looking at steve gadd snares , but they cost to much so...

Well...I don't really care how my snare looks, but I do care how my drumkit looks, cause it is a piece of the decoration of the stage, and that + the performance of me + the band is how we present ourselfs.

And cause noone can really see my snare I don't care how it look. (although, a acrylic snare looks just damn sexy).

[steve_o_69]

That looks gorgeous. Shame you can see much of it.

I know it is a shame, ill tryand get a better picture with more snare in it

Is that a big dog throne?

It is indeed! Only cost £100, and in this country thats chep for a tractor style throne! does the job well i certainly recommend

nice shirt

Cheers lol! i wondered if anyone would mention that, i do have a soft spot for wolves, the band hate it but stuff them! it was wearin that shirt that got the ic taken pin the first place! :p none of the other bands that played had a drummers pic lol! i feel special!

Hehe, I got the pro throne, but not a tractor-style...just a round one :)

The brass limited edition are nearly sold out , massmusic hasn't got them anymore.

America holds only 50 of these babys and i think they are all gone , cept I think Europe still has some left.

[Panopticon]

Theres one in my store...hearing that i think i should jump on it just after the kit...$450 CDN is a sweet deal it seems...

[steve_o_69]

This is a little thing i recorded with miniamal kit..but using my BP snare u guys wanted to listen to.. just bear in mind i have an Evans Power centre (reverse dot) on the batter, some aquarian thing on reso cant remember...but it hasnt been tweaked in about a month since the heads were changed so it still will sound even better when i get around to it!!
