Excellent condition.

The exclusive SONOR Artist 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. From bronze to 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.

Heavy Maple Shell

The heavy maple shell produces a warm and pronounced low-end with lots of clarity in the mid-range and top-end.  The snare’s 7” depth helps in delivering a deep and rich tone, with its 13” width keeping it tight and defined.

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.

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.
