Sonor | Kompressor Brass, Aluminum, Steel Snares | Sound Demo

[@robsco1249]

I don't like visually the lugs and the Sonor logo but the 5,75" depth, just like the old 505/555 D ferromanganese snares, is always interesting.

I sure love Yamaha RC Alu but Sonor style of both polished Alu and its badge are very sexy. Especially, when there aren’t many drummers who play Sonor in my country. Thank you for the video. Again, I do love this format.

Super Sounds für kleines Geld! Klasse inszeniert, mein Lieber! Gruß, Daniel 😊

I've bought both the Aluminum 14x6.5 and the brass 14x5.75. So far the brass is the standout of the two. It has a glorious crack and very pleasant overtones that create a wonderful harmonic palette when played with my Sonor S Classix kit. The aluminum doesn't quite have the punch I was hoping for but it's serviceable in a variety of situations. I find the build quality quite good on both drums.

[@rkaylor5769]

I concur. I traded my aluminum for the brass.

[@voitekbiskup6005]

Excellent review! Now that I’ve listened to a few videos, I think the Aluminium 14x8 might become an iconic drum. The brass 13x7 also seems a standout. For me personally though I’ve pre ordered the Aluminium 14x5.75 and I don’t think I’ll regret it as I’m not a loud player. I would be interested in your thoughts whether this sounds as good as the Yamaha recording custom aluminium. Thanks again for a great video.

I think one argument for the Recording Aluminum is the light cast hoops. Whether a seamless shell is more important to you is also something you'll have to decide. Thanks for your feedback on the video!

Love my yam rc alum. I have the 5.5” one, I play Sonor kit but with that snare. Yet to try these.

[@johncollins5552]

I own a vintage sixties sonor beech set but dont have a matching snare and have used a no name birch 14 by 5 snare despite having a couple of maple snares they dont cut through well I found. I like the yamaha stage custom steel snares that sound almost as good as this kompressor steel for half the cost. Great video comparison.Happy New Year.!

Interesting snare line! It´s a shame shells are seamed, but I guess you can´t get seamless ones for this price tag.

[@wileysil3313]

you can, check out the tama starphonic alu snare, that one's seamless

[@Eurodrummer666]

@@wileysil3313 for some reason, seamless alu shells exist on a medium priced level. Shame it's not possible for brass...

[@banditY2K]

And by not having a seam improves the sound how?

[@seppoinnanen5577]

Can't decide between brass and aluminium, 5'75" drums. On the other hand, I had a Yamaha 4x14 brass and I never used it, even though it was right in the ballpark

[@steverichdrummr]

Such a nice job on this demo. What would I choose? It would be the aluminum 5 3/4 inch model. I like the sound at all of your tunings, I think because of the 2mm thick shell. The brass and steel mostly sound just like all the competition, very nice but not really different. The aluminum still has a higher quality sound compared to competitors. I would be happy to play any of these, especially the 5 3/4 models. Thank you!

[@DrumsBonedo]

Thanks Steven!

[@wileysil3313]

"not too exclusive, even in terms of price" - 599 bucks for the brass model. not too exclusive, for sure...

[@doeni2]

So you see any difference in terms of sound and/or craftmanship between these and Ludwig Snares which are round about 1000€??

[@wileysil3313]

@@doeni2 what's your point? Ludwig is even more ridiculously overprized than Sonor, if that's what you mean.

[@doeni2]

@@wileysil3313 that's exactly what I meant 👍

[@user-tl8sx5cz8z]

599 EUR for the 14*6.5 ridiculously overpriced??

[@inthapocket1011]

Die Gerüchte gab s ja schon länger, deswegen hab ich mit dem Kauf einer kurzen Alu gewartet. Ein großer Wurf war das jetzt tatsächlich nicht. Tama und Yamaha bieten deutlich mehr für weniger Geld. Wobei, das Sonor Badge ist schon deutlich größer, da hamm se sich nicht lumpen lassen :-)
