Sonor Benny Greb Signature Snare

Early 2010, SONOR and Benny begun working on a very special Snare Drum, Benny’s very own Signature model that is as versatile and musical as Benny himself.

Benny favors Beech, and that’s what gives the drum its transparency, warmth and a wide tuning range with a fat sound. The special shell size – 13” in diameter and 5.75” in depth is the outcome of experimenting with the primary snare drum he has used over the years, a 13x6.5”, with alternative depths of 5” and 5.5”. The beautiful outer veneer is Scandinavian Birch that adds a timeless look to the drum. But it wouldn’t be Benny without adding something very special. The personalized Benny Greb badge shows his unique “Cartoon-head”, and a soft rubber ring is being applied to the shell.

Benny: “My signature snare drum from Sonor is basically a replica of a snare drum that was custom built by Sonor for me many years ago. It ended up being the main snare I’ve been recording with and using live since then. In all of my recent recordings you can hear the huge sound and versatility of this great instrument. I’m happy to share this sound now with you. Have fun with it!”
