🛡️ Our 30-Day Guarantee
Try it for 30 days — actually play it, that's the point. If it's not right for you, send it back for a full refund.
The shell, hardware, and finish need to be free of damage — normal play marks on the drum head itself are completely fine. Just include the original packaging (packed the way it arrived) and everything that came in the box.
Return postage within Australia is on us. For international returns, postage is paid by the buyer.
🥁 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, 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.
