For both tone and strength, no wood combinations fared better than 100% European birch. In concert with Sonor's Cross Lamination Tension Free (CLTF) construction and OSM sizing, SQ1 shells offer balance across the entire frequency spectrum and a modern dry tone. Low-contact 45° bearing edges give the musical Remo Ambassador Coated heads the freedom to sing out to their full potential. On top of all this, Sonor's Cross Lamination Tension Free ply construction gives the SQ1 shells superior strength and roundness. This means better defense against aging, for a more consistent and longer-lasting drum.Unusually perfect shell sizing Sonor undersizes its SQ1 shells slightly, a process it calls Optimum Shell Measurement (OSM), to allow standard-sized drumheads to float freely on the shells. This unrestricted contact between the heads and bearing edges promises a pure, satisfying tone at every tuning range. Adopted from historic methods for building kettle drums, this modification from typical shell sizes brings back a time-tested shell design and produces a sound that is adaptable to a wide variety of musical styles.Matte lacquered finishes inspired by classic cars The SQ1 series' exquisite looks were inspired by revered mid-20th-century classic automobiles. And the high-lustre chrome hardware really sets off each of the colors: GT Black, Cruiser Blue, Hot Rod Red, and Roadster Green. With four visually rich hot rod finishes to choose from, you're sure to find the snare of your dreams in the Sonor SQ1 Series.Dual Glide System (DGS) strainer with licensed Dunnett quick release Sonor's DGS snare strainer is a wonder to behold — but using it is even more fulfilling. This innovative strainer has a knurled tension-adjustment knob right on top for creating just the right feel, and the Dunnett quick-release lever is generously sized and easy to grab. What's more, the snare wire clip is detachable; in conjunction with the quick-release, it makes resonant head swaps a cinch.Sonor Drums SQ1 14" x 6.5" Snare Drum Features: Shell size (depth x diameter): 6.5" x 14" Developed with Chris Coleman and other Sonor artists 100% European birch shell is balanced across the frequency spectrum CLTF ply lamination yields a more stable drum OSM shell sizing and 45° bearing edges allow heads to sing to their full potential Dual Glide System snare strainer with smooth-acting licensed Dunnett quick-release TuneSafe lugs keep tension screws from vibrating loose Hot-rod-inspired matte lacquer finishes Remo Ambassador coated heads provide musical, high-volume attack Proudly made in Germany by Sonor SpecificationDetail Type Snare Drum Depth 6.5" Drum Diameter 14" Shell Material European Birch Color GT Black Finish Matte Lacquer Heads Remo Ambassador RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
