Features

Product Description:

Introducing the SONOR Hilite Snare Drum, a distinguished model marking SONOR's first use of maple wood in the Hilite series. This drum represents the next generation of SONOR craftsmanship, delivering a high-quality sound that impresses with its rich tonal character. Crafted from European maple rather than North American, the shell features 9 plies at 7.5mm thickness, providing a robust yet resonant tone. The drum is equipped with die-cast hoops and a unique one-point tubular lug design, complemented by long high-tension bolts supporting the bottom hoop, enhancing both durability and tuning stability. The sound combines SONOR�fs signature volume and projection with the warm, sticky qualities reminiscent of birch drums, resulting in a commanding presence. Manufactured around 1989, this snare is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches. It comes fitted with a REMO Coated Ambassador head and the original 24-strand steel snare wires, ensuring authentic SONOR sound and performance. The finish is a striking Black Diamond color, adding visual appeal to its professional-grade features.
