One Of A Kind: One Of A Kind... that's what you get with one of these hand-built masterpieces. The stunning natural grown veneers make each snare drum is as unique as your fingerprint. Sonor selects a certain tree for each edition, then Sonor's master builders shape the veneers into form - not only on the outside but also on the inside of the shell! The extensive high-gloss lacquering method brings depth to the precious wooden surface - a SONOR hallmark.
For the first time Sonor uses hybrid shells made from maple and birch or maple and beech, which bring a sonic addition to the past issues of "one of a kind" drums. The instrument badges highlight the laser cut iconic mallet logo, made out of the same veneer that is used on the snares itself. To be eco-friendly, all veneers come from certified and resource-saving trade partners of the company.

Sonor Gavin Harrison Protean 14x5.25 Snare Drum Premium Edition
The Gavin Harrison "Protean" Signature snare drums
In late 2011, SONOR and Gavin began working on the “Protean” project with the goal to create a snare drum that is as musically versatile as Gavin himself. The name “Protean” comes from Greek mythology meaning “versatile” and “diverse”. Gavin wanted this snare drum to be a daily workhorse instrument that can be quickly altered to suit the musical situation.
“When I had the chance to design this Snare Drum together with SONOR I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve because it is based on my experience of the last 30 years playing professionally. I chose the shell material, the hybrid bearing edges, the dampening rings, the S-Hoop and the 8-strand snare wires because I know they work in all sorts of different situations. We called the drum ‘Protean’ because it’s versatile and you can change the features very quickly to get a sound that will be musically right. I wanted the look of the drum to be able to fit in with any drum set. It has a sleek Art Deco look about it with a classic black satin finish.
It‘s the best of vintage meets modern innovation and to play it is my dream come true.” Gavin Harrison

Sonor Phonic Reissue 14x5.75 Beech Snare Drum (Genuine Rosewood Semi-Gloss Veneer)
This Snare Drum is a recreation from SONOR's legendary Phonic Series. The slotted Tension rods, Phonic lugs and badges, the veneer and of course the beech wood shell replicate the sound and look of this famous Snare Drum. Non the less, this drum has received upgraded features like our TuneSafe System.
The shell is constructed of 12 Plies of Beech, at a 10.5mm shell thickness and 45 degree bearing edges and Die-Cast hoops. The result is a very responsive and throaty snare that excels at medium to high tuning. That's not to say you can't tune this snare low - it is still extremely capable of giving you the body and yet retain the attack on lower tunings.
