Black Swamp – Dynamicx Sterling, Live!, and BackBeat Snares
by Michael Dawson On 31st Oct 2017
Black Swamp Percussion began in 1995, and its first two products were handmade tambourines and bamboo-shaft timpani mallets. Now a leading manufacturer of high-quality concert percussion instruments, mallets, and accessories, BSP also builds snares for drumset players, called Dynamicx. These drums, which are available with Unibody solid-wood, 9-ply maple, and titanium shells, are made in the U.S. and offer top-notch features and exceptional tones that work well in any application. We were sent one drum from each of the three Dynamicx lines: a Sterling series 6.5x14 solid cocobolo, a 5.5x14 Live! series solid ambrosia maple, and a 6.5x14 BackBeat series 9-ply maple.
