Gavin Harrison Design Influence: Developed in conjunction with Sonor's signature artist projects, the SW1208/2 B "EQ" snare wire set is designed to deliver surgical sonic precision, lifting your snare’s natural high frequencies while dampening messy ambient overtones.
Dual-Group "Equalizer" Geometry: Engineered with a specialized center split, separating the wires into two independent sections of 8 strands (yielding 16 strands total). This split removes wires from the direct center line where the stick impact forces the drumhead down the hardest.
Premium German Bronze Formulation: Precision-rolled at the Sonor factory in Germany using elite-grade bronze alloys that impart a distinctively crisp, articulate, and dry response compared to traditional steel wires.
Choke-Free Head Response: By leaving the structural sweet spot of the bottom resonant head completely open, this design allows the shell to breathe natively and rings out with an incredibly clean wood or metal fundamental tone.
Bearing Edge Safety Profile: Features custom-stamped metal end plates with smoothed, rounded borders that prevent the wire tension anchors from digging into or scoring delicate snare-side drumheads under high strain.
Features
Crisp Studio Articulation: The unique 2x8 dual-bundle spacing tightens the decay track of your snare, making it highly prized by studio session recording engineers.
Dynamic Response Range: Accents the ghost notes on the outer rim with sharp clarity, while handling heavy, center-striking rimshots without creating choking audio artifacts.
Reduced Cross-Talk Rattle: The absent center strands make the snare significantly less susceptible to sympathetic vibration triggered by surrounding rack and floor toms.
Handcrafted Quality Standards: Fabricated to meticulous tolerances in Germany to guarantee identical, uniform tension across every single bronze spiral strand.
Dual Attachment Routing: The end plates are designed with precision routing slots that cleanly accommodate standard nylon string cords or textured mounting straps on any standard drum strainer.
