Holy run on sentence, Batman!
They're great snares, just not great for everything.

I was going to say the same thing. A guy playing in a small jazz combo would obviously not like using a Pearl Joey Jordison snare, and a guy playing death metal probably wouldn't like a Symphonic Snare. You just have to know the sound you're looking for, and know what drum to buy to make that sound. If you want a snare with a great crack, that still has some body and warmth to it, the Black Panther should fit the bill, provided you know how to tune and tweak a snare drum to your liking. If you want to play music that doesn't have a snare with that sort of crack, don't buy a snare designed for that.
