Special Snares

Keeping time

The exclusive SONOR Special Series combines the experience of the world's most talented drummers with SONOR's vast percussion instrument manufacturing expertise. This partnership has produced unparalleled snare drum models which meet even the most stringent demands. 

Bronze, maple and beech, each and every Artist Snare Drum is a masterpiece in its own right. During the development process, design is as integral to the final product as sound quality. This attention to detail gives each Artist Snare Drum its own unmistakable character.

14" x 6" Cottonwood

Perfect as a all-round snare drum this model features a 9-ply Maple medium shell, a unique Cottonwood satin finish and Die-Cast chrome plated hoops. Producing a warm and full tone with a harmonic frequency, it also offers very clear attack and sensitive response due to the stainless steel wires. 

14" x 6" Bronze

The “heavyweight” of the Artist series, this snare drum is made of a 14“ x 6“ cast bronze shell. Similar to the cymbal making process, the shell is made of one piece of bronze for best resonance and full projection. Offering maximum volume, it is the ideal Drum for music requiring a sharp, loud and powerful snare. 

13" x 7" Amboina

The extraordinaire 13“ x 7“ Amboina Snare is constructed using a Heavy Maple shell. This snare drum embodies true perfection, only found in SONOR’s superb quality construction. The sound ranges from sensitive moments to brute force – characterizing this all-around instrument with soft, warm tone in the lower pitches along with balanced mediums and highs. Using one of the finest burl wood veneers (Amboina) combined with 24k gold-plated fittings, this snare drum’s look is breathtaking. 

14" x 5" Scandinavian Birch

With its thin Vintage Maple shell, this Artist Snare Drum offers excellent resonance and a clear, transparent sound. The classic Scandinavian Birch finish and the 24k gold-plated fittings give it a very high end look. Its warm and rich sound make this snare drum quite versatile and naturally suited to a wide variety of musical styles. 

13" x 5" Tineo

The main feature of this Artist Snare Drum is the massive, 27 ply (and hence 28 mm thick) beechwood shell. It is deep, dry, with lots of ‘bottom’, and yet transparent. Well suited for funk, fusion, jungle or electronic beats.
