Signature Sound Enhancement: Developed in collaboration with drumming legend Gavin Harrison for his Protean signature series, the Sonor SW1208MS "Spacer" is a premium, handmade snare wire layout built to extract maximum wood tone and nuance from your drum shell.
Unique Spaced-Strand Geometry: Features a specialized layout with irregular, wide gaps between the wires. This design minimizes sympathetic rattle and prevents the wires from choking the bottom head, providing a highly organic sound.
Premium German Brass Formulation: Handcrafted at the Sonor factory in Germany using elite-grade brass alloys that produce a warmer, darker, and more controlled buzz compared to traditional steel wires.
Perfect Snare-to-Head Contact: Outfitted with custom-profiled end plates that ensure the brass strands lay completely flat against the resonant drum head for a clean, consistent response across all dynamic ranges.
Bearing Edge Protection: The end plates are engineered with smooth, rounded borders to eliminate the risk of sharp metal corners digging into or puncturing delicate drumhead film when cranked under high tension.
Features
Focused Shell Character: The 8-strand configuration lowers the generic "metal snare buzz" and amplifies the native wood or metal tone of your drum shell.
High Dynamic Range Sensitivity: Captures subtle ghost notes with extreme clarity while responding with a crisp, punchy attack during heavy rimshots.
Reduced Sympathetic Vibration: The wide spacing natively dampens accidental triggering from surrounding tom-toms or bass frequencies.
Precision Handmade Construction: Fabricated to exact tolerances under Sonor's highest manufacturing standards, guaranteeing perfectly balanced tension across every individual strand.
Traditional Cord Assembly: Designed with standard end-plate slots to securely anchor the wires using nylon cords or straps on a wide range of standard snare strainers.
