The Benny Greb Signature Snare features a 5mm beech shell, giving the drum a warm overall tone and a very wide tuning range. 2.3mm power hoops let you hit the drum hard without damaging the hardware. The outer veneer of Scandinavian Birch, along with Benny's special 'Cartoon-Head' logo and a strip of soft rubber, give this drum a unique and tasteful look.
Phil Rudd, drummer for legendary band AC/DC, helped create this instrument based on his all-time favorite snare drum - the Sonor Horst Signature Black Brass model. The 1mm chrome-over-brass shell gives this drum great volume potential as well as a high amount of resonance. Cast hoops provide tons of crack to the sound, and the smaller dimensions mean that this snare can reach piercing high tones. To finish the visual package, a vintage Signature badge with Phil's signature is included.
Steve Smith is one of the most famous and respected drummers on the scene today, and his Sonor Signature Snare Drum is the one he uses while on tour with Vital Information and Jazz Legacy. The shell is made of 2.5mm cast steel with 2.5mm reinforcing hoops, giving the drum a full, crisp sound with effortless response. A Remo Fiberskyn 3 Diplomat batter head and a Sonor Clear Resonance Head, as well as 24-wire snares, make Steve's sonic desires easier to accomplish. Vintage-style Phonic re-issue lugs and the TuneSafe throw-off give this drum a classic look, finished with a re-issue of the Hillite Exclusive badge inscribed with Steve's signature.
This snare drum was designed to the specifications of Motorhead's drummer, Mikkey Dee. With a depth of 7.25" and 6 plies of 7.2mm birch, this drum contains the ability to blast through the heaviest of metals. Thick 2.3mm power hoops can withstand normally damaging rim shots - don't be afraid to smack this drum. A Motorhead-inspired finish completes the visual design of the drums, predominantly featuring the 'Ace of Spades' and 'War-Pig'.
This snare drum is designed as a component drum for the Sonor Arena drum set with Transparent Black Stain, but it serves just as well on its own. The North American Maple shell is cross-laminated, providing greater stability while maintaining resonance. It also features Optimal Shell Measurement, which narrows the outside of the shell measurement for more contact with the head. This leads to a more controlled decay and longer sustain. The shell also has 45-degree bearing edges as well as the strongest, lightest Tune Safe lugs that Sonor offers.
