SONOR Kompressor 14" x 5.75" Steel Snare Drum – Chrome
The SONOR Kompressor 14" x 5.75" Steel Snare Drum is a versatile metal snare built around a responsive 1mm steel shell, combining a crisp attack and strong projection with the familiar character of a classic steel snare.
Its versatile 14" x 5.75" dimensions make it a great all-round choice for everything from rehearsals and live gigs to recording, while SONOR's Optimum Shell Measurement (OSM) allows the drumheads to vibrate more freely across a wide tuning range.
Finished in chrome, the steel shell is paired with 2.3mm Power Hoops, TuneSafe double lugs and Remo USA heads, giving you a professional setup straight out of the box.
1mm Steel Shell
The 1mm steel shell delivers the bright, articulate response and projection that makes steel such a popular snare drum material. Its 5.75" depth keeps the drum responsive while retaining enough body to work as a versatile main snare.
SONOR OSM & TuneSafe
SONOR's Optimum Shell Measurement uses a slightly reduced shell diameter, allowing the drumheads to sit and vibrate more freely.
The double lugs also feature SONOR's TuneSafe system, designed to help prevent tension rods from loosening during playing and improve tuning stability.

FAQs

What is SONOR Optimum Shell Measurement?
SONOR's OSM construction uses a slightly reduced shell diameter, giving the drumhead more freedom to vibrate and helping the drum respond across different tunings.
What is the TuneSafe system?
SONOR's TuneSafe system is built into the lugs and helps prevent the tension rods from loosening during playing, improving tuning stability.

Steel vs brass – which Kompressor should I choose?
The Steel Kompressor is a great choice if you want a bright, direct and articulate metal snare. The Brass models offer a different, generally fuller metal-shell character and are worth considering if you want to move up within the Kompressor range.
