Description

This 14″ snare by Sonor has been lovingly designed as a nod to the dry, pronounced snares of the 50s – a sound that you’ll instantly recognise and fall in love with.

Vintage Look, Vintage Sound

The snare’s edge utilises a rounded bearing edge as opposed to the more common 45 degree cut. This ensures that there’s more contact with the the drumhead, resulting in a more full-bodied tone with more emphasis on attack than sustain.

Aesthetically, Sonor have gone for a beautiful Vintage Red Oyster finish with unique 50s-style badges and logo – a real eye-catching piece of kit that sounds as good as it looks!

Practical Features

The Sonor Vintage series make use of their Super 50 strainer, inspired by the design of their original 50s snares. The aim of the game here is authentic tone but with added practicality.

They’ve also used a redesigned Superprofil hoop and added their trademark TuneSafe lugs, so you’ll have wonderful resonance and consistency without having to worry about gradual loosening.

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Snare Drums

Snare drums provide the sharp backbeat and articulate ghost-note response at the centre of many drum kits. Compare diameter and depth, shell material, hoops, heads, snare wires, strainer, throw-off, butt plate and tuning range. Metal, wood and hybrid shells can produce different combinations of attack, body, sensitivity and projection, while depth affects the balance between response and weight. Check whether the listing includes a case, stand or replacement parts. The best choice depends on the drummer’s tuning, touch, music and the rest of the kit.
