The BP DESIGN LAB series is a high-end snare drum model that is one step above the BLACK PANTHER series. It features a more powerful and deeper sound, and coloring and design that matches its quality. The classic style of the North American maple shell, reinforcement ring, and single flange hoop allows for a wide range of sounds from vintage to modern music, while also providing subtle ghost notes and a bright, open presence.
