Attacking the Central Nervous System Since 2024
Hand-built in Australia. Engineered for drummers who want feel, response, and impact without the factory-made price tag. This is what a 3-zone snare should feel like.
🥁 Product Description
The Black Widow 3-Zone Electronic Snare is built for drummers who want a responsive, great-looking centrepiece for their electronic or hybrid kit. It delivers the realism, sensitivity, and playing feel that mass-produced pads struggle to match — all in a boutique, acoustic-style shell.
Every drum is hand-assembled and tested by a drummer in Australia. No factory shortcuts. No plastic pad aesthetic. Just a snare that hits the central nervous system the way a drum should.

🕷️ The Black Widow Difference
Most electronic snares look and feel like rubber pads. This one doesn't. Black Widow is built for drummers who want a snare that reacts, breathes, and responds like an acoustic instrument — not a factory pad. Every drum is hand-assembled in Australia with boutique-level attention to detail.
If you want a snare that feels alive under your hands, you're in the right place.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with my module?
Yes — compatible with Roland, ATV, EFNote, 2Box, Pearl Mimic, Alesis, and most major modules.
Will I get all 3 zones?
Only if your module supports 3-zone input. If your module supports 2 zones, the snare will operate as a 2-zone drum.
Does Poplar affect the sound of the drum?
No — not on an electronic snare. The tone comes from your module, trigger system, and mesh head, not the shell material.
Is this a digital snare like Roland's PD-140DS?
No — this is a 3-zone analog snare with a boutique acoustic shell. Different technology, different feel, far more accessible price.
Can I gig with it?
Absolutely. It's built to take a beating and deliver one.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — fast, secure, and fully insured.
Is this really hand-built?
Every drum is assembled, tested, and packed by a drummer in Australia.
