Up for sale is a rare Sonor 5.75” x 14” Ferro Manganese metal snare—a harder-to-find size that sits right in the sweet spot between the snap of a 5” and the body of a 6.5”. These don’t come around often.

Built from Sonor’s ferro manganese steel shell, this drum delivers a focused, articulate voice with a slightly drier character than typical steel snares. The result is a crisp attack, controlled overtones, and exceptional sensitivity—ideal for both studio precision and live power.

As the local shop owner Mike puts it, “it’s the best metal snare ever made.” After playing it, you’ll understand why.

There are also historical ties to Colin Burgess of AC/DC, adding a bit of legacy to an already standout instrument.
