The story of my battle with snare drum addiction.

Saturday 23 February 2008


This is a Sonor 14x5 Blanched Roots drums - the same as Steve Smith uses.

This is one of the few drums I have picked up from ebay. I think at the time there was only me and another guy interested in it - who, very strangely, I've bought two prototype Paiste rides from. If memory serves, I paid £249 for it, which is cheap for a good Sonor drum.

It is quite sensitive, crisp, loud and cutting and the single-flange hoops give it both a nice vintage look and feel, the latter being something you don't get much of with modern drums.

I collect snare drums. I think I also have a problem...
