Sonor snare drum 14" x 6,5" with steel shell
If you want a snare drum with plenty of power and a direct response, this Sonor Kompressor is a strong option. The 14" x 6,5" shell is built from 1 mm steel and gives this steel snare the powerful, characteristic SONOR sound the series is known for. Its chrome-plated finish and silver look give it a clean, classic presence on any drum kit.
The Kompressor Series was developed as a line of workhorse snares for different music styles. You notice that broad usability in the combination of sensitive response and clear projection, making this snare drum suitable for drummers who want one versatile drum for the rehearsal room, studio or stage.
Construction and tuning stability of the Sonor Kompressor
Sonor uses Optimum Shell Measurements here, abbreviated as OSM. This means the shell diameter is slightly reduced so the drumheads can vibrate more freely. In practice, that contributes to an open response from the REMO® USA Heads fitted on this snare drum.
You also get 45° bearing edges, 2.3 mm Power Hoops and SONOR Double Lugs with 40 mm hole spacing. The TuneSafe System helps keep tuning stable, even in more demanding conditions. If you play a lot and want to keep your snare properly set up, Magna Music can also help with personal advice from musicians in the shop and maintenance in its own workshop.
Finish and hardware
The hardware comes in chrome and matches the chrome-plated shell neatly. The snare has a Standard Throw-Off and a Kompressor Badge measuring 40 x 60 mm. That keeps the layout functional and straightforward for drummers who want to buy a solid Sonor snare drum without unnecessary extras.
