Sonor bronze snare drum with full projection
If you need a snare drum that cuts through a heavy mix with ease, the Sonor AS 1406 BRB SDBD stands out immediately. This 14" x 6" bronze snare drum is described as the heavyweight of the Artist series and uses a one-piece cast bronze shell, similar to the way cymbals are made. That construction gives this Sonor snare the resonance and full projection highlighted in the product information.
The combination of bronze, a 3 mm thick shell and 2 mm reinforcement rings at the bearing edges makes it well suited to music that calls for a sharp, loud and powerful snare sound. For drummers who want strong volume and clear presence on stage or in the rehearsal room, this is a very focused option.
Build and finish of the Sonor Artist Snare Drum
The 14" x 06" shell size gives this Sonor Artist snare drum a familiar setup with extra body from the depth. Its 45° bearing edges, die-cast hoops and SONOR Single Lugs with 32 mm hole spacing match the solid character of the drum. The Dual Glide Snare Strainer handles the snare mechanism, while the TuneSafe System helps keep the setup stable.
The bronze finish combined with ruthenium hardware and the 40 x 60 mm Artist Badge gives this snare drum a distinctive, refined look. At Magna Music, you can also get advice from people who play themselves and know what a heavy Artist snare adds to a drum setup.
