Up for sale is a rare Sonor 6.5” x 14” Ferro Manganese metal snare—and if you ask Mike the shop owner, “it’s the best metal snare ever made.” After spending time with it, it’s hard to argue.

This drum is built from a ferro manganese steel shell, giving it a seriously commanding voice: crisp, articulate, and controlled, with a dry edge that sets it apart from typical steel snares. It’s got the kind of authority that immediately makes you play differently—in a good way.

And yes—this model has ties to Colin Burgess of AC/DC, which only adds to its legacy and appeal.

Specs & Features:

  • 14” diameter x 6.5” depth
  • Ferro manganese steel shell
  • Classic Sonor build quality—rock solid hardware
  • Smooth throw-off and excellent tuning stability
