Following the launch of the Kompressor Snare Drum series metal shell snare drums earlier this year, Sonor has added two new wood snare drums to the lineup. The new German Beech shells are as equally powerful, responsive and versatile as their metal counterparts, covering a range of musical styles with the warm midrange tone. Made in Germany, these snares project with dynamic and articulate sound. Featuring Sonor’s proprietary Cross-Laminated Tension Free (CLTF) shell construction process and Optimum Shell Measurements (OSM), the slightly undersized diameter allows for ideal contact between the shell and the drumhead in all tunings.
