  • 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.
