The Sonor AS 12 1406 CM Artist Snare Drum stands as a testament to superior craftsmanship with its stunning cottonwood finish and professional–grade construction. This versatile snare drum features a 9–ply maple shell that provides the perfect foundation for both studio recording and live performance applications. The medium maple shell construction ensures durability while maintaining the tonal characteristics that discerning drummers demand.
Measuring 14" x 6", this instrument produces remarkably warm and full tones across a wide harmonic frequency range. The clear attack and responsive feel come courtesy of the exclusive SW 1424 S stainless steel wire system, featuring 24 precision–engineered steel wires. Die–cast chrome plated hoops and chrome plated fittings add both visual appeal and structural integrity to the overall design.
Technical specifications include 2 x 10 tension rods, a white medium batter head, and matt lacquer finish that highlights the natural beauty of the cottonwood. The Tune–Safe System ensures consistent tuning stability, while the throw–off snare action allows for quick adjustments during performance. Both sides feature adjustable settings with die–cast hoops, giving players complete control over their sound.
