An Artist's Snare for the Discerning Drummer
From a drum maker that traces its roots back to 19th century Germany comes a line of hefty, punchy, visually stunning snares: the Sonor Artist Series snare drums. Sonor was founded in 1875, and their 140+ years of experience making percussion instruments shows in the design detail, sound quality, materials, and fit and finish of each Artist Series snare. Complete with a dual-glide snare strainer with licensed Dunnett snare quick release, TuneSafe ultra-stable lug configuration, musical Sonor batter and reso heads, and 45-degree bearing edges, the Sonor Artist Series snare drums have earned a place among Sweetwater drummers' favorite snares.

One-piece shell construction for maximum resonance and volume
The Sonor Artist Series Bronze snare, like cymbals, is made of a single piece of metal — in this case, bronze — for the best possible resonance, strength, and shell integrity. The 3mm bronze shell produces an extra-loud, snappy report suitable for more aggressive styles of music. Sonor has finished the visually sharp shell in a semi-gloss protective lacquer that will keep it looking great for years to come.
Lock-down lugs and a dual-glide snare strainer
The Artist Series Bronze snare's black chrome-plated hardware looks great — but is it sonically stable? When keeping the beat puts heads out of tune, it can be tough to play confidently. Sonor has solved this problem with their TuneSafe lug system. It features a milled channel with a nylon insert that ensures stable tuning during long sets with even the most enthusiastic solos. With all the Artist Series snares, you also get a smooth-acting dual-glide snare strainer with a licensed Dunnett quick-snare release that makes your transitions seamless and secure.
