[Used SONOR Signature series items have arrived!] This signature series snare drum was the top-of-the-line model in the 1980s, playing a prominent role in numerous recordings and live performances, and becoming a coveted model among drummers. Featuring a heavy shell made from 12mm thick beech wood and equipped with thick die-cast hoops made in Germany, this drum delivers a powerful attack thanks to the synergistic effect of its robust construction. Thanks to the full-surface parallel snare strainer, it also boasts an extremely sensitive snare sound, with a clear, articulate response, absolute volume, and bass that is unmistakably SONOR. It delivers overwhelming depth at low pitches and incredible clarity at medium to high pitches. These ultra-heavyweight, top-of-the-line drums continue to reign supreme as the grand champions of the drum world, a historically significant instrument that Sonor is proud of.
