Steve Smith, one of the world’s greatest ­drummers, has been endorsing SONOR Drums for more then 30 years – more than just a good reason to celebrate with a Steve Smith Signature Snare Drum Model. Steve and the SONOR engineers created a true masterpiece that is addicted to sound, features, design and most of all, Steve’s input.

The 14" x 5.5" Signature Snare Drum is an outstanding instrument, made out of an exclusive, 2.5 mm cast steel shell / 2.5 mm reinforcement rings and two air vents. Vintage Style Phonic lugs with integrated TuneSafe are in place for a vintage look, and die-cast hoops and a REMO fiberskyn 3 batter head in Diplomat thickness add to the overall effect of what Steve is looking for in a snare drum: a crisp, full-bodied instrument with an immediate and effortless playing response.

Besides the Signature Badge, Steve’s Signature is engraved on a Re-Issue of the “Hilite Exclusive” badge, adding another “Vintage SONOR” touch. Steve uses this instrument in studio sessions and live on tour with his groups Vital Information and Jazz Legacy.
