What We Think

Perfect as an all-round snare drum this model features a 12ply maple shell, a unique Amboina veneer with gloss finish, and gold-plated hoops. Producing a bright and full tone with a harmonic frequency, it also offers very clear attack and sensitive response due to the heavy maple shell and 13" diameter. Its dimensions and construction also give it more dynamic range, meaning you can play sensitively or full-out without the snare compromising your style of playing. Producing a full-bodied and balanced tone, this snare is versatile enough to use for a variety of styles, and can easily cut through any mix. The incredible Amboina/Burl veneer is finished in a high-gloss lacquer, accompanied by gold-plated 24 carat hardware. This offers a very high-end aesthetic, with its remarkable tone matching its classy look.

Manufacturer's Description from Sonor

Sonor’s impeccable reputation speaks for itself, and their Artist Series Snares are collaboratively designed between the company and some of the world’s best drummers. Made in Germany, these incredibly high-spec snares have unparalleled build and sound quality, as well as an elegant look.

All SONOR lugs are equipped with the patented TuneSafe, which prevents the tension rods from loosening. Tune Safe supports maximum tuning stability even under extreme environments. Square-head tension rods with fine-pitch threads guarantee optimum tunability.

Dual Glide System:

The Dual Glide System snare strainer is a great feature of the Artist Series snares. This mechanism provides a precise and smooth action when placing the snare wires in “on” or “off” position, and ensures that there are no annoying buzzing sounds produced when doing so.

The strainer and butt sides are also both armed with a fast-release snare wire detach function. This means that you can easily change the resonant head without having to loosen and adjust the Snare wires. A very ergonomic feature indeed.

About Manufacturer

As one of the oldest drum companies in the world, Sonor brings quality craftsmanship the old fashioned way, by researching their instruments, and constructing them so that they are built to last. It is this pride and dedication that has led Sonor to become one of the premier names in percussion today. Sonor drums and hardware consistently receive top results in tests put on by leading drum and percussion publications. As a first in musical instruments, Sonor received the highest design award of Germany in 1994.

Known for their quality of sound as well as their build quality, Sonor is the choice for top-tier drummers such as Glenn Kotche of Wilco, Danny Carey of TOOL, Steve Smith of Journey, Benny Greb, Jojo Mayer of Nerve, Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree, Chris Coleman of Prince, Jack DeJohnette, and many more. Through all the achievements and endorsements, Sonor remains dedicated to consistently offering players with the best sound possible.
