SAS FEATURES & LAB BUILT STANDARDS

Magnetic Force Adjustment and Acoustic Resonate Gate on MAATS

“MFA” - Magnetic Force Adjustment. The “MFA” or Magnetic Force Adjustment controls how much of the weight of the drum you are allowing the magnets to pick up. As you apply magnetic force, the sound opens because the weight is being distributed to the opposing magnets.

“ARG” - Acoustic Resonance Gate. As the positioning of the ARG moves up and down, the sustain length of the drum lengthens or shortens. This is an incredible way to dial in your perfect drum sound in real time!

SAS Attenuating Floor Tom Leg

This feature is an absolute breakthrough in the real-time attenuating of your drum sound. No more external muffling on the floor toms, with the SAS leg you can dial in the sustain of your toms in real time. As we know with the floor tom legs, the straighter the path to the floor, the more the sound loss. Giving you every angle from beyond 90˚ to even inverted, the SAS attenuating floor tom leg makes possible unlimited real-time attenuation of your drums! One SAS Attenuating Floor Tom Leg leg ships with each Black Panther Design Lab floor tom.

SAS Static 90° Floor Tom Leg

Two supplied with Each floor tom to work alongside the Attenuating Leg, The straighter the path to the floor, the more sound loss: the static 90˚ Design Lab leg resolves this issue, allowing the most possible resonance from the floor toms.

Sonic Pedestal Foot

The steel leg is prevented from contacting the ground by an internal cotter pin, allowing the floor tom to “float” on the elevated “spring" of the rubber foot, eliminating vibration transfer and maximising resonance.

Soniclear Bearing Edge

This is standard on all BPDL shells, allowing the drumhead to sit flatter on the shell, making better contact. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head-to-edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the hybrid shell to stand out.

Chamber Specific Design

Plies get progressively thicker, depths graduate by 1/2”, bearing edges change and the SAS ring system changes, as the drums get larger in diameter. The combination of all of these details creates an amazing symphony in one kit, where each and every drum sounds perfect!

Master Tune Lug

The elegant design of the Black Panther lug has been revised by the Design Lab to form the new Master Tune Lug. The first truly “Locking Tube Lug”, the Master Tune Lug utilizes a small body for the least amount of metal-to-wood contact. A Design Lab-exclusive pressured locking mechanism is outfitted on every lug to keep the drum in tune, show after show.

Air Flow Venting

One of the amazing elements to playing the Black Panther Design Lab drums is the “feel” of the instrument. The venting is key to the feel and the overall resonance of the shells. Through painstaking testing, each Chamber Specific approach has lead to a formula of multiple vent holes in both Design Lab systems. Toms and bass drums have different combinations of vent holes. These air flow vents are placed at the *Nodal line with the lugs, so as to not affect the resonance of the shells.
