SONOR presents: GAVIN HARRISON Protean Signature Snare Drum

NEW FOR 2013!! The Gavin Harrison "Protean" Signature Snare will be offered in two sizes, 14" x 5.25" and 12" x 5". Made from 6-ply, hand-selected Birch and featuring a timeless Silky Black finish which is offset by white-shell hardware underlays. The snare features a special open triple-flanged steel hoop on the bottom, making SONOR's Dual Glide snare strainer even more versatile as multiple snare wires can be used and exchanged quickly and easily. Another special feature is a set of three newly designed dampening rings that are available in different widths (Light, Medium and Heavy dampening), a set of two special designed 'Protean' tuning keys that make the exchange of heads and tuning, easier, faster and more convenient.

In late 2011, SONOR and Gavin began working on the 'Protean' project with the goal to create a snare drum that is as musically versatile as Gavin himself. The name 'Protean' comes from Greek mythology meaning "versatile" and "diverse." Gavin wanted this snare drum to be a daily workhorse instrument that can be quickly altered to suit the musical situation.

"I believe every drummer has an inner voice that they're trying to convey. SONOR drums articulate that inner voice and help me express my true 'drum personality'. SONOR drums speak my language" (Gavin Harrison)
