The Black Panther Design Lab snare drum is now in stock!] The Black Panther Design Lab Artist Series is a collection of signature snares developed in collaboration with endorsed artists. The designs, parts, and colors are primarily chosen with respect for the artist's wishes. This is a top-of-the-line series that delivers high-end quality in all aspects, including sound quality, thickness, dynamic feel, and volume. American session drummer Russ Miller is recognized as one of the world's top drummers today. A multi-platinum recording artist, he has appeared on multiple Grammy Award-winning albums and has sold over 26 million records. Ray Charles, The 5th Dimension, Cher, Natalie Cole, Tina Turner, Bobby Caldwell, Andrea Bocelli, Nelly Furtado, The Psychedelic Furs, Al Jarreau, Hilary Duff, Daniel Bedingfield, Meredith Brooks, and many more. I have worked with over 50 international artists. A star on the LA studio scene, readers of Modern Drummer magazine have voted Miller one of the top five studio drummers in the world three years in a row. The maple and mahogany hybrid shells provide a natural pre-processed sound with just the right amount of low end, articulation, and punch. The single SAS ring on the player's side, the unique bearing edge combination, and the ideal depth and size proportions all contribute to a perfect balance of strength, functionality, feel, and beauty in any situation. In addition to MAPEX's signature SONIClear Bearing Edge specifications, it also features MAPEX's unique Air Flow Venting and Cylinder-Drive Strainer. -SAS(SONICLEAR(TM) ATTENUATION SYSTEM) FINISH- It is based on the proprietary SONIClear(TM) Attenuation System (SAS) sonic effects scale developed in the Mapex Design Lab. From SAS-0 to SAS-3, each artist chooses a finish that gives their snare drum a distinctive sound. -SONIClear(TM) Bearing Edge- Sonic Clear™ Bearing Edges are standard on all Black Panther Design Lab shells. The drumhead rests flat on the shell edge, increasing contact between the head and shell and enhancing shell vibration, maximizing the resonance of the shell body from the drum. The result is a stronger, deeper base pitch, with significantly increased tuning stability and range. -Sonic Saver Hoops- Sonic Saver hoops bridge the gap between flanged and die-cast hoops. The unique shaping process creates a profile that reduces stick wear and dramatically improves rim shot response and feel. Significantly lighter than conventional die-cast hoops, they do not impede the shell's vibration, resulting in a more natural percussive sound and significantly improved resonance, resulting in a stronger, deeper base pitch and significantly greater tuning stability and range. -MASTER TUNE LUG- The elegant design of the Black Panther rug has been refined by the Design Lab to become the new Master Tune rug. A true "locking tune lug," the Master Tune Lug features a small body to minimize metal-to-wood contact. Design Lab's exclusive pressure locking mechanism on every lug keeps your drums in tune. -Air Flow Venting- One of the most important aspects of playing the drums is feel. The Airflow Vent is key to this feel and the overall resonance of each shell. After extensive testing, each model is vented to achieve this ultimate feeling, premium sound and resonance.
