Description

10 years have passed since the very first collaboration between clinician wizard Benny Greb and drumming innovators Sonor. The result of that union? A signature snare that became one of the most popular drums that the brand has ever produced! Fast forward to the present day and a refresh of that same alliance has delivered a whole new instrumental sequel. Like Benny says “It’s not an update, it’s an upgrade!”

Brass Brilliance

Separating itself from its beech cousin, this brass variant features a 1.2mm shell with a vintage finish and teardrop lugs. With every strike the drum projects a serious amount of warmth and balance that are common characteristics of the material, while rimshots deliver welcome overtones that really help accentuate the overall sound. The 13" x 5.75" dimensions ensure that the bottom end maintains excellent presence, as well as an increased level of sensitivity; every nuance of your playing is highlighted here.

Percussion Additions

Extra innovations include the durable Dual Glide snare strainer and the intuitive MonoRail dampening system. This has been incorporated using two contrasting dampening materials hand selected by Benny himself. Known as ‘The Felt’ and ‘The Sheep respectively, each is interchangeable, allowing you to swap your sound quickly and easily from punchy, to funky, and everything in between!

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.
