anyone with a phosphor bronz black panther snare?

[breakster]

Im interested in getting one of these but the local music shop can only order one in for me if im definitly going to buy it. This leaves me with a problem because i wouldnt mind testing my new snare before i buy it...
has anyone on here got one or know where i can find soundclips or reviews at least?
im also not closed to the idea of getting a different snare but i can get good deals on the black panther range.

Hi,

Get it. Ok thats a bit much. Right, my best experience is the other night I had a gig and they were aweful engineers! Anyway they ended up leaving my snare un mic'd because the vocal mic kept picking it up and we couldn't hear our singer. So I was like :| uh oh! Apparently it cut through amazing, EVERYONE loved it and so many people asked if they could buy it off me! I of course refused!

this snare is amazing, its so versitile. I have the 14x5.5 and thats plenty! I'm afraid I have no decent sound clips as you cant hear it in the recording (you could in the studio but not in any other speakers -tw*ts!) Anyway. If you need any more info I'm here :)

Also I have the hammered version.

what kind of music do you play? im looking for a snare with a warm powerful sound but with good sensitivity. at the moment im playing in a experimental hardcore band.

I play mostly heavy metal type music, and I have the discontinued 14x3.5" phosphor bronze snare. I bought it used, and even with the stock heads on it, it sounded absolutely beautiful. Even with it's shallow depth, it sounds very full and warm, and has a seriously stunning crack to it. No sound clips yet though, sorry.

I think it would suit your experimental hardcore music very well.

I play experimental punk, Im in a really heavy band too. I use it for jazz too. Its really sensitive when tuned right and it sings too you!

ant 182, have you played the un hammered version? whats the difference in sound supposed to be like?

[ant_182]

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that. I'm not sure what the difference in sound would be like.
