This is a monster snare!

Wouter Van Renterghem 12.08.2022

the new “Warbird” is an optimized version of the original Black Panther model, with a unique 12″ diameter and a Walnut/Maple hybrid shell. This updated version still has a sharp and aggressive attack, with an amazing bite and projection (rarely heard a wood snare having this amount of projection compared to metal snares, it perfectly complements my Pearl Matt Halpern Brass snare in terms of projection).
The new staggered lug design adds an enormously wide tuning range and the Puresound snares gives unparalleled sensitivity, with a dark, punchy and explosive sound.
On top of it all, it has the Trick snare throw-off with 3 positions, which operates smooth as butter (my all-time favorite throw-off).
The Evans heads are the icing on the cake and nicely enhance the tone characteristics of the walnut-maple hybrid shell.
… and it even looks like piece of art as well !!

I use this snare in all my setups, whether as a main or as a side snare.

If you are eyeballing this snare drum for a long time, do not hesitate, you will love it and will not be disappointed.
