The vibe and performance of Sonor's Benny Greb 2.0 signature beech snare drum is now available as an all-brass option. The Sonor Benny Greb Signature Brass snare's robust 1.2mm shell is custom sized (5.75" x 13") to match the dimensions of Benny's wood snares, yet delivers a sound and response all its own. Not only do you get the legendary sensitivity and sonics of brass. But outside, a distressed center-stripe vintage finish gives the Signature Brass a look unlike any snare you've set eyes upon. Right outside you'll find "stereo" MonoRail adjustable dampeners ? one with traditional sheep's wool, the other with cymbal felt ? to help tame overtones for more subdued musical styles. You also get Sonor's smooth, silent Dual Glide snare system with quick-release snare detachment for snappy action and speedy head swaps. Factor in 2.3mm triple-flanged Power Hoops for balanced projection, Sonor's iconic '50s Teardrop Lugs, and 18-strand Sonor Sound Wires for a dry, focused response, and with the Benny Greb Signature Brass from Sweetwater, you've got all the makings of a truly timeless snare.

1.2mm distressed brass shell





Some of the most sought-after snares in the world feature brass shells ? a material known for its expression, sensitivity, and, of course, output. The Benny Greb Signature Brass's 1.2mm shell is capable of capturing the ghostiest grace notes to the heaviest rimshots without compromising on dynamics. A distressed center-stripe vintage exterior gives the Benny Greb Signature Brass snare a memorable look to match its unforgettable tone and response.





2.3mm Power Hoops





Triple-flanged Power Hoops on carefully formed bearing edges deliver a fat, full attack and wide dynamic range in the Sonor Benny Greb Signature Brass snare.





Twin MonoRail dampeners





The Benny Greb Signature Brass gives you dual adjustable dampeners to soften attack and dry out overtones from inside the shell. Each mechanism features a different material ? one a traditional sheep's wool material, the other a more modern cymbal felt ? to give you greater tonal options onstage and in the studio.





Dual Glide snare system





Sonor's Dual Glide throw off releases and engages snare wires quickly and without unwanted noise. This gives you greater freedom to experiment with tenored and traditional snare tones mid-song. Not only does the Dual Glide give you exacting tension control. But both the strainer and butt plate come equipped with quick-release snare detachments, so you can change heads without removing or adjusting settings on your snare wires.
