Our new Kompressor series snare drums transform air to pure sonic energy, that takes your breath from the first hit. The sensitive response, the powerful and characteristic SONOR sound and the wide range of materials and sizes make these snares a true workhorse, suitable for a variety of musical styles. Thanks to the used Optimum Shell Measurements (OSM) drumheads can vibrate more freely due to the slightly reduced shell diameter. For maximum tuning stability even under extreme conditions, these snares are also equipped with TuneSafe lugs. Optimum shell measurement (O.S.M.) SONOR implements a slightly narrow outside shell measurement for optimized head contact. This is a SONOR specialty, resulting in excellent tone, better sustain and controlled decay. All shells are formed by only using pressure from the outside in our special moulds. TuneSafe Right in tune, 100% of the time with a patented system that prevents tension rods from loosening, giving maximum tuning stability, even under extreme environments. 2.3mm Steel Power Hoops Kompressor Snare Drums are equiped with tripple-flanged 2.3mm Steel Power Hoops for a full and focused sound with a solid playing feel. Remo USA Heads At SONOR, we truly believe that first impressions last. All Kompressor Snare Drums are outfitted with USA-made REMO® heads for a professional sound right out of the box.
