Mine is the Hammered Steel posted above -- it has die-cast rims. I too, have never played these rims before, but now I can tell you this; the drum definitely sounds more solid and the rimshots are much more powerful. All this for the unbelieveable price of $230! Gotta love those Black Panthers!
I'd love to try the maple and gold die-cas rim one too. I just played my first gig with mine in Seattle on Saturday night, and the snare was outstanding. Nice and loud, but not overbearing. After we played, 3 random drummers came up just to check out the snare. I'm very pleased and can see me wanting another one.

A couple of years ago, I was totally blown away with the sound of these Black Panthers . So I decided to buy one. Here it is...

Everthimr i see this thread i want one soo badly. Cant wait for the sound files.
 
Re: THE BLACK PANTHER THREAD!!! for all BP snare fans and owners....

Finally, I got a chance to record some sounds. Here's the hammered bronze snare with a coated G2 on top, hazy 300 on bottom, and a 42-strand wire. This was supposed to be about the snare, but I started having fun. I sometimes put a little moon-gel type thing on, but I left it clean to hear the drum better. I also mic'd the shell. The recording sounds more like this looks-

That's a good sounding snare, Parser. I love the metallic overtones from the shell. It isn't the sound I'm looking for, though, so I guess it is back to the Maple with the gold hardware, as in Radeq's recordings.

Thanks Stu! The guys I play with play pretty loud, so I like the punch. I'd really like the maple one yer talking about though.

check the stamp on the inside of your BP. what number do you have? this maple 7x12 is simply fantastic. good to see people catching on to these things. i have had mine since december 2005. ill try and get a few clips up at some point.

That snare is the sexiest thing since Jessica Simpson in daisy dukes. Wowsers!

Re: THE BLACK PANTHER THREAD!!! for all BP snare fans and owners....

I am wondering if anyone has tried the cherry BP? How does it sound compared to the maple BP?

And Radeq, I am getting that black and gold snare.

I played the Black Panther Cherry snare back in November when I bought the one I have now. I remember it having a very nice, solid, and loud (but not too loud) rimshot. It was a beautiful drum as all BPs are, my second favorite to the birdseye maple.

Black Panther 13" Steel Snare

Unfortunately I don't have a picture with just my beloved snare on it, but I think one can see what it looks like ^^

and this is what it sounds like

again, sorry I don't have a "only snare" recording, but I used it for our demo recording so you know what it sounds like
 
Re: THE BLACK PANTHER THREAD!!! for all BP snare fans and owners....

hmm true, but as I said before I don't have a proper drums-only recording with this snare... as sad as it is, but I still think the sound of the snare in this song is great ^^
