Description

The Goblin is mischievous. It's calibrated to produce a crisp, tight response that cuts through any mix, adding depth and complexity as an auxiliary or secondary application.

Key Features:

  • SONIClear Bearing Edge:
    The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all BP Snare drum shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range.
  • Air flow venting:
    One of the most thrilling elements of playing Black Panther Snare Drums is the feel of the instrument. The Air Flow Venting is key to this feel and to the overall resonance of each shell. Through a painstaking testing process, each Black Panther model has been fitted with the ideal quantity of vent holes for this ultimate feel combined with premium sound & resonance.
  • Cylinder-Drive Strainer:
    The Cylinder-drive strainer and butt side adjustment use a self-lubricating bearing to insure smooth operation. The adjustment knobs employ “micro-lock” technology providing precise tension control.

  • Size: 12 x 5.5
