Sonor snare drum with birch shell
This Sonor snare drum is handcrafted in Germany and built around a 6-ply, hand-selected birch shell. The description specifies this as a thin 6 mm shell, while the specs also mention a medium birch shell. The size is listed as 14" x 5.25" in the description and spec list, with a separate mention of 14" x 5.75", so both size references are included here.
The Matte Black Lacquer finish gives this Signature G.Harrison snare drum a restrained look. White underlays between the chrome hardware and shell add a distinct visual detail, while the Protean Signature Badge completes the model.
Construction and hardware of the Signature G.Harrison
For the bearing edges, Sonor uses a Rounded Bearing Edge on top and a 45° Bearing Edge on the bottom. On top there is an S-Hoop and on the bottom a 2.3 mm Power Hoop, combined with SONOR Phonic Double Lugs with a 52 mm hole spacing. Snare adjustment runs through the Dual Glide Snare Strainer.
This snare drum also includes the TuneSafe System, 2 Protean tuning keys and 3 different dampening rings. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from drummers and musicians if you want to match hardware, setup or maintenance to your snare configuration.
What comes with this Sonor snare
The supplied information mentions both a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition. The Standard Edition includes the snare drum, a set of 3 dampening rings and 2 Protean tuning keys. The Premium Edition is also described as including a Protean case made by Hardcase UK, with EQ and Spacer snare wires stored in a wooden box separate from the drum.
Because the product information does not explicitly state which version is supplied here, that part is kept strictly aligned with the source details. What is clear is that the Sonor Signature G.Harrison is a strikingly detailed snare drum for drummers specifically looking for a premium Sonor snare in Matte Black Lacquer.
