Sonor 14 x 8 Phonic D508X Ferromanganese Snare Drum Demo, Feat Rocky Morris

Hey Everyone, in this video we are taking a listen to a Sonor 14 x 8 D508X Phonic Ferromanganese snare drum.
We currently have a PreLoved one of these available which you can view here:
drumazon.com/c...
Do you remember when Sonor offered you oscillographically tuned batter and snare heads? Well here is a drum from that very era. Phonic and Phonic Plus Snare Drums were available with wood or metal shells, the wood shells were made from 9-ply beech wood, metal shells like the one here were made from seamless ferromanganese steel.
For the D508x, Sonor developed an advanced model of the Throw-off release simply named Throwoff II. Slightly similar to the parallel mechanism offered on the Signature series drums, the snares surpass the edge of the head, so that the whole length of the strands rest even better on the snare head. Furthermore, muffling is avoided since the metal plates of the snare mechanism do not touch the snare head.
Like with all our audio demos there is no limiting to enhance the dynamic response, no digital reverbs are used, the ambience is naturally captured with room mics. We recommend listening through headphones or speakers for the best detail.
The music used on this video is not a backing track. Rocky put the drums down first and the music was created and recorded afterwards, much like in a studio session to help demonstrate a more authentic feel.

Cool AF! Very enjoyable drumming and snare. Thinking of this snare to complete a 70's Phonic set. Any opinions?
