Description

Here’s what Sonor say about the Vintage Beech Snare in Vintage Red Oyster:

SONOR Vintage Series Sound

The rounded bearing edge creates more head contact, which generates a beefier and little shorter sound in comparison to the 45 degree cut shells. The result is a warm, dry but yet resonant sound that you’ll notice on older drum records.

SONOR Vintage Series Shell Design

9ply / 6 mm cross laminated tension free (CLTF) on all drums.

Super50 Snare Strainer

VINTAGE snare drums feature a new throw off. The ‘Super 50’, a completely redesigned strainer, was inspired by the throw off which was used on the SONOR D-411 and D-412 snares in the 1950’s.

Superprofil Hoops – redesigned.

SONOR has redesigned the original “Superprofil” hoop from the 1950s – a 2.3 mm triple flanged steel hoop with classic shape on snare drum, tom toms and floor toms.

TuneSafe – Right in Tune, 100% of the Time!

All SONOR lugs are equipped with the patented TuneSafe, which prevents the tension rods from loosening. Tune Safe supports maximum tuning stability even under extreme environments. Square-head tension rods with fine-pitch threads guarantee optimum tunability.

Batter and Resonance Heads – Made by REMO USA

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.

Snare Drum

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.
