Benny Greb, one of the most sought after Clinicians these days, has teamed up with SONOR on his very own Signature Snare Drum. Benny's unique style and sound are personified in this signature drum.

Seeking to capture a diverse and full-bodied sound, Benny selected a thin 5mm Beech shell as the tone source of this drum. Beech has a very pleasant warm sound that has smooth high and lush low frequencies to span a variety of musical scenarios. Opting for a 5.75" shell depth, this snare drum splits the difference between a rock drum and a jazz drum and can voice articulately through a broad tuning spectrum. The 13" shell diameter's naturally higher fundamental pitch makes medium and high tunings snap and pop while the thin shell combined with Sonor's Tunesafe lugs hold the low tuning taught with ease. We loved the center mounted hardware both for its aesthetic and the sonic attributes. Complemented with a  Scandinavian Birch Outer Veneer and Sonor's mirror-like chrome hardware, the Benny Greb Signature Snare Drum is a force to be reckoned with. While some may scoff at the 13" shell diameter, this drum is not a one-trick pony and is easily at home as a primary or auxiliary snare.

Sonor's craftsmen continue to create some of the finest instruments in the industry. For discerning players like Benny Greb, the choice of what drums to play is easy. Discover his sonic vision with the Benny Greb Signature Snare Drum.

Since 2004, drumming scene’s shooting star Benny Greb is part of the SONOR family. Says Benny: “For me as an artist it is key to embrace both tradition and innovation, and the guys at the Sonor drum company do that same thing. I feel close to people that love what they do and who are dedicated to quality. That’s why I feel close to the Sonor Company.”



Benny can be found playing with an assortment of musicians, all demanding his tasteful and immaculate playing style. You will find him in rock settings, laying down a ferocious backbeat with both Stoppok and The Ron Spielman Trio, in jazz with the aptly titled Benny Greb Brass Band.



Early 2010, SONOR and Benny begun working on a very special Snare Drum, Benny’s very own Signature model that is as versatile and musical as Benny himself. Benny favors Beech, and that’s what gives the drum its transparency, warmth and a wide tuning range with a fat sound. The beautiful outer veneer is Scandinavian Birch that adds a timeless look to the drum. But it wouldn’t be Benny without adding something very special. The personalized Benny Greb badge shows his unique “Cartoon-head”, and a soft rubber ring is being applied to the shell.
