Sonor Artist Series Cast Bronze Snare Drum 14x6

The Sonor Cast Bronze Snare Drum Legacy Continues

From a company with over 140 years of drum-making heritage, the Sonor Artist Series represents the pinnacle of German craftsmanship. These drums are designed for drummers who demand uncompromising tone, performance, and aesthetics—and the Artist Series Bronze Snare is a shining example.

Powerful One-Piece Bronze Shell

At the heart of this snare is a 3mm single-piece cast bronze shell, delivering unmatched projection and tonal clarity. Much like a quality cymbal, the single-shell construction enhances resonance and shell integrity. The result? A snare that speaks with a commanding crack, full-bodied resonance, and articulate response—perfect for rock, metal, or any style that demands presence.

Pro-Level Hardware and Finishing Touches

TuneSafe Lugs
Sonor’s patented TuneSafe lug system prevents detuning, even under heavy playing conditions. Each lug is engineered with a nylon insert that holds tension rods securely in place, ensuring your tuning stays locked during long sessions and performances.

Dual-Glide Snare Strainer with Dunnett Quick Release
Switch snare tension or remove the snares completely with ease using the dual-glide strainer system, which includes a licensed Dunnett quick-release. This mechanism glides smoothly and offers reliable, intuitive control.

45° Bearing Edges
These precision-cut edges enhance contact between the drumhead and shell, transmitting every stroke with clarity and nuance.

Black Chrome-Plated Hardware
Durable and stylish, this premium hardware complements the bronze shell and adds modern edge to this classically inspired snare.

Semi-Gloss Lacquer Finish
The warm, brushed bronze finish is protected with a subtle semi-gloss lacquer for a timeless appearance and long-lasting visual appeal.
