Your Mandala mk2.9 will come with a special feature that allows you to turn it into a very special drum. Sound engineers at Synesthesia have painstakingly digitally sampled more than 1500 strikes on a Black Beauty(TM) snare drum. When you load the Hi-Def 'Beauty' application and start playing your Mandala it will become, before the eyes of your audience, a Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum.
