Sonor Kompressor

Seamless metal snares in three alloys

The Kompressor line is a set of seamless spun shells — aluminium, brass, and steel — in the same sizes, which makes it one of the cleanest ways to hear what a snare shell's metal actually does.

  • Sonor

    Founded by Johannes Link in Weissenfels and rebuilt at Bad Berleburg after the war, Sonor is the oldest drum company still making drums. Its reputation rests on dense, thin beech and maple shells and on hardware heavy enough to be a running joke among drummers who move their own gear. The SQ2 system lets a buyer specify shell timber, thickness, and bearing edge drum by drum.
