Music Radar Get to grips with the Black Panther 'Black Widow' Snare Drum

"Here is a drum for when you need a rapid response without sacrificing tone and quality - whether you're slamming behind an indie-punk band or steering a nimble jazz trio

14"x5" is a neglected size, being 1/2" under the standard 5 1/2". That half an inch less, though, gives the drum a noticeable alacrity. This drum is mighty sharp, you get that lovely sensation of crispness when you tap it - it's super-sensitive all over the batter head. And the SonicSaver hoops accentuate the pin-sharp cross-stick response."

Pro's - Sharp, crisp and super-sensitive response. Warm tone.

Con's - Nothing of note.

VERDICT - Here is a drum for when you need a rapid response without sacrificing tone and quality - whether you're slamming behind an indie-punk band or steering a nimble jazz trio
