The Sonor Benny Greb Signature 13x5.75" Brass Snare Drum is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and innovation, delivering unmatched versatility for drummers seeking the perfect sound. This snare drum is the result of a collaboration between Sonor and acclaimed drummer Benny Greb, culminating in a reimagined version of their iconic snare, now boasting an innovative Monorail dampening system. Crafted from a robust 1.2 mm solid brass shell, this snare offers a dynamic tuning range, making it suitable for various music genres.

A standout feature of this drum is the vintage-inspired offset teardrop lugs, which add a touch of classic style, complemented by the modern Dual Glide snare strainer system. This system ensures that snare-side head adjustments don't interfere with wire tension settings, a boon for drummers who need quick, reliable changes.

Benny's unique Monorail dampening system is a game-changer, featuring two internal mufflers that provide unparalleled sound customization. Unlike traditional models, these mufflers can be adjusted externally using two dials, allowing drummers to swiftly modify the snare's tone—whether during practice or live performances. Select between a soft "sheepskin" or a hard "felt" head to achieve the desired sound texture, offering a level of versatility that sets this snare apart.
