Sonor Pure Canadian Snares

Post by Frank Godiva »

“Sonor Drums in Germany & Sonor Drums Canada celebrate the launch of the PURE CANADIAN Snare Drums!

In paying tribute to the diverse landscape and culture across Canada's 13 provinces and territories, the PURE CANADIAN features a 13-ply, heavy Canadian Maple shell, available in two sizes: 14" x 6", and 13" x 6", both manufactured in Sonor's prestigious German factory!

The 14" model comes standard with Die Cast Hoops, while the 13" model ships with Sonor's steel Power Hoops. The steel action strainer system allows for fine tuning of the 2 x 8 stainless steel soundwires, and the vent hole is discretely concealed underneath the snare butt allowing more of the shell's beautiful finish to be seen! Both drums are finished in high-gloss transparent black stain, revealing the gorgeous birdseye grain of the outer layer of maple, a finish that has not been produced since the phasing out of Sonor's Designer series in 2006.”

Here are the specs and a video.

Shell size: 14" x 6"
Shell construction: 13 ply Canadian Maple Shell, 9.1 mm
Finish: Stain Black High Gloss
Fittings: Chrome
Tuning lugs: 10 double lugs with TuneSafe & Square Head Tension Rods
Snare Strainer & Snare Butt: Chrome (Delite Series style)
Snare wires: SONOR Steel Sound Wire
Hoops: Die Cast

Does anyone know how these played and sounded? Would love a high quality video/audio recording of one with close mics.
