Sonor Kompressor Series Snare Drums

We are excited to launch the new line of snare drums from Sonor. The Kompressor series. Available in Polished Aluminum, Steel and Black Nickel Over Brass shells.
    
These drums are both powerful and sensitive. The Kompressor line of snare drums has the high quality and all of the features you've come to expect from Sonor but you may be surprised by the affordable price.
     
The first drum we unboxed was the 13"x7" black nickel over brass Sonor Kompressor and out of the box the drum looked good and felt very solid. The standard Sonor throw off engages smoothly and the TuneSafe lugs don't back out out giving you maximum tuning stability.
    
This drum is also extremely responsive in all playing zones. The edge produces a pleasing tone while the center controls the ring and lets you hear each grace note. With a little shoulder, the 13" diameter releases a powerful rimshot but the 7" depth still gives you some bottom.
    
We also unboxed the 14"x8" aluminum Kompressor. This is also a very responsive snare drum but on the other end of the sonic spectrum. Although you can tune it up, the drum really shines in the mid to low range. The 8" depth produces a nice full sound and the 2mm polished aluminum shell with Optimum Shell Measurements (OSM) gives you just the right amount of tone. This drum is also equipped with TuneSafe lugs so your tuning is locked in.
    
Depending on your sonic needs, the Sonor Kompressor line has the perfect drum for you and they are an excellent addition to any snare drum arsenal.
    
We have the 14"x6.5", 14"x5.75" and 13"x7" in black nickel over brass and 14"x6.5" and 14"x8" in aluminum available in store to check them out. We'd be happy to put them on a kit for you.
