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!”

Percussion Additions

Building upon the foundations of its renowned 13" x 5.75" beech predecessor, this model features a new bubinga wood inlay and ‘50s style teardrop lugs – all while retaining the same great sound that helped to put it on the drumming map. 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 are the rhythmic backbone of modern music, providing pulse, energy, and structure across countless styles and genres. From acoustic drum kits and marching drums to hand percussion and electronic systems, drums are designed to be played physically and expressively, responding directly to touch, technique, and dynamics.

Acoustic drums are built from shells, heads, and hardware that work together to shape tone, volume, and sustain. Different sizes, materials, and tunings allow drummers to create sounds ranging from deep and powerful to tight and articulate. Electronic drums expand this further by offering volume control, sound variety, and integration with recording and digital music systems.

Drums are used in live performance, recording, education, and practice, making them one of the most versatile instrument families in music. Whether played softly or with force, alone or as part of a full band, drums play a central role in driving rhythm, supporting musicians, and shaping the feel of a piece of music.

A snare drum provides clarity, backbeat, and definition within a drum kit, acting as the main voice for timing and accents. Its tight head and metal snares create a sharp, responsive sound that cuts through a mix, making it essential for groove, dynamics, and rhythmic punctuation. The snare drum controls feel and expression, allowing drummers to play everything from soft ghost notes to powerful backbeats that drive the music.
