Sonor snare drum with Phonic Reissue character
This Sonor snare drum recreates the legendary Phonic Series and combines that familiar look with a few modern improvements. The slotted tension screws, Phonic lugs, Phonic Reissue badge and beech shell reflect the well-known original design, while the TuneSafe system adds extra security when tuning.
With its 14" x 5.75" size, this snare drum is a clear choice for drummers who want a model with a classic foundation and a distinctive character of its own. Within the SONOR Artist Series, the construction is important, but so are the finish and the overall visual design of the instrument.
Construction and finish of the 14 inch snare drum
The shell uses 12 plies of beech and has a thickness of 10.5 mm, which the product information explicitly describes as a heavy beech shell. It is paired with 45° bearing edges and die-cast hoops, along with SONOR Phonic Double Lugs with 52 mm hole spacing.
The brown version with rosewood veneer and semi-matte lacquer gives this 14 inch snare drum a classic, refined appearance. The chrome hardware finish and the Made in Germany Standard Throw-Off complete the build. If you are specifically looking for a Sonor snare drum with Phonic details, this is a model that links vintage styling to current construction details. At Magna Music, you can also get advice from people who play themselves and can think along with your drum setup.
