General

The Sonor SSD13 Gavin Harrison Signature Protean snare drum is part of Sonor's SQ2 series of custom instruments, representing the full extent of Sonor's vast wealth of drumming knowledge. It's the pinnacle of Sonor artisanship, the result of over 137 years of experience in producing high-quality instruments.

Sonor SSD13 12 x 5" Gavin Harrison Signature snare drum: Protean

The name Protean stems from ancient Greek mythology and was chosen to reflect the incredible versatility of the instrument and the drummer behind it. Gavin Harrison is best known as the drummer for Porcupine Tree, and he helped Sonor develop a snare drum that can quickly adapt to any musical situation. Hence, the Sonor SSD13 Gavin Harrison Signature snare drum combines classic elements with modern innovation. This 12 x 5" snare features a 12-ply shell with a special triple flanged steel Power Hoop with cutaways on the bottom, while the Sonor Dual Glide snare strainer makes changing your snare wires easier than ever! Furthermore, the Protean snare drum also comes with three damping rings (light, medium and heavy). Two specially designed Protean drum keys help make both tuning your drum and replacing the drumheads a much quicker and easier process.

Drumheads

This snare drum is hand-crafted in Germany, and comes with a Remo USA CS batter head and a Remo Ambassador Resonance head.
