Product Description

Derived from Greek Mythology, the word 'Protean' means versatile and diverse. Coincidentally, that's also what the words 'Gavin Harrison' translate to in drum speak!

The Ultimate Working Snare

Harrison set out with Sonor to create a snare that was reliable, versatile and practical. With years of experience under his belt, he knew the importance of being able to rely on gear to get the job done day after day, and be applicable to any scenario that it's placed in. The result was the Protean Signature Snare series, handcrafted in Germany with your most rigorous requirements in mind.

The 14" is made with 6-ply birch with hybrid bearing edges, a combination last used by Sonor in 1975 but favoured by Harrison for it's distinct quality. The chrome-plated hardware includes hybrid hoops and a version of the dual glide system, making interchange and combination of snare wires quick and hassle-free. The vintage lugs use the TuneSafe configuration, making them easier and more consistent when it comes to finding your preferred timbre.

Premium Features

This Premium Edition also comes with a special Protean Case from Hardcase UK, so you can take it it to every jam, session or gig without ever worrying about damaging it! This truly is the working musician's snare, with outstanding tonal range, a host of practical features and a build quality that's second to none. You won't be disappointed!

Here's what Gavin Harrison has to say about his signature 14" snare:

"When I had the chance to design this Snare Drum together with SONOR I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve because it is based on my experience of the last 30 years playing professionally. I chose the shell material, the hybrid bearing edges, the dampening rings, the S-Hoop and the 8-strand snare wires because I know they work in all sorts of different situations. We called the drum ‘Protean’ because it’s versatile and you can change the features very quickly to get a sound that will be musically right. I wanted the look of the drum to be able to fit in with any drum set. It has a sleek Art Deco look about it with a classic black satin finish."

Mr N Manders29th Jan 2019

Bought this after a lot of research - not so much for its looks as although it's nice it's quite understated - but because I love the way this drum sounds and it has a lot of great practical features you won't find on many other snares. Good at all tensions, incredibly easy to tune and a joy to play. Personally I prefer it cranked up, when it gives a distinctive woody pop.
