Pre-order nu! (verwachte binnenkomst april 2025)
The original Signature Series 14”x08” Cast Bronze Snare Drum HLD 590 was introduced in 1987.
It was developed based on results from scientific research SONOR commissioned during the
development of the Signature Series. The related study concluded that the weight and stiffness
of a drum shell have a significant impact on the vibration of the drumheads. The heavier and the
stiffer the drum shell is, the more unobstructed the heads can vibrate. Thus, the fuller, the more
resonant and projecting the overall sound potential.
Because the cast bronze shell material offered more weight and stiffness than any other material
used by SONOR at the time, the HLD 590 was able to reach unmatched purity, resonance and
projection. Combined with the overall goldish appeal of the bronze shell with copper plated
hardware parts, it became the ultimate and most luxurious SONOR snare drum of the time and
has remained one of the most sought-after collectible pieces to this day.
The original HLD 590 used a solid 3mm cast bronze shell with 2mm sound focus rings, resulting in
a total thickness of 5mm at both edges of the drum. As the sound focus rings have to be part of the
casting, the entire shell was cast in 5mm bronze first. Then, the center was milled down to 3mm.
Up until today, SONOR has used the same shell construction for all its cast bronze snare drums.
Therefore, the 14”x08” shell of this 150th Anniversary Signature Cast Bronze Snare Drum is an
exact replica of the one used on the HLD 590.
However, this drum is more than just a reissue of the original from the 1980s. It is a tribute which
merges tradition and innovation by combining a replica of the original cast bronze shell from the
HLD 590 with contemporary state-of-the-art shell hardware features.
All hardware parts on the drum are plated with 24-carat gold to capture the esthetic of the original
whilst also adding a slightly more luxurious touch to the overall esthetic.
Finally, all drums receive individually numbered commemorative badges to certify the uniqueness
of each 150th Anniversary 14”x08” Signature Cast Bronze Snare Drum.
The 150th Anniversary 14”x08” Signature Cast Bronze Snare Drum is strictly limited to 100
pieces worldwide.
