Sonor Benny Greb Signature Snare Drum – 13×5.75″ Beech Shell, Scandinavian Birch with Bubinga Inlay

Signature Sound. Striking Design. A Modern Classic Refined.

The Sonor Benny Greb Signature 13×5.75″ Beech Snare Drum represents the second-generation version of one of the most musical and iconic signature snares ever produced. Designed in close collaboration with world-renowned drummer Benny Greb, this snare pairs a 9-ply, 6mm beech shell with an elegant Scandinavian Birch outer veneer, accented by a subtle yet stunning Bubinga inlay around the center.

The sonic character of this drum is just as refined as its looks—dry, articulate, and full-bodied, thanks to the responsive nature of the beech shell and the unique 13×5.75″ dimensions. The shell size offers a tight, focused response with surprising depth and power. It’s equipped with 2.3mm Power Hoops, vintage single lugs, and Sonor’s exceptional Dual Glide snare strainer, delivering smooth, quiet operation and consistent snare engagement.

From whisper-quiet ghost notes to articulate rimshots, this snare is crafted for expressive playing across jazz, funk, pop, rock, and anything in between.
