The Gavin Harrison "Protean" Signature Snare Drums In late 2011, SONOR and Gavin began working on the Protean project with the goal to create a snare drum that is as musically versatile as Gavin himself. The name Protean comes from Greek mythology meaning versatile and diverse. Gavin wanted this snare drum to be a daily workhorse instrument that can be quickly altered to suit the musical situation. 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 its 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. "It's the best of vintage meets modern innovation and to play it is my dream come true." - Gavin Harrison Construction and Finish The Signature Snare is handcrafted in Germany and will be offered in two sizes: 14" x 5.25" and 12" x 5". They are made from 6-ply, premium hand-selected Birch wood to make a thin 6mm shell. The timeless Silky Black finish is offset by white underlays between the chrome fittings and the shell. Hybrid Bearing Edges The Snare reintroduces the vintage round bearing edge on top which SONOR last produced in 1975. On the bottom a modern 45 degree bearing edge is featured. Vintage Lugs Gavin's choice of lugs are the vintage Phonic lugs to add mass to the shell while eliminating stress from high tension. Hybrid Hoops The Snares feature S-Hoops on the top side, and a special open, triple-flanged steel hoop on the bottom. Dual Glide System Gavin loved the benefits of the new Dual Glide Snare System, but took the idea a little further. The open bottom hoop makes the Dual Glide strainer even more versatile, as multiple snare wires can be used and exchanged quickly. Tuning the bottom head with the snares off is much easier. Exclusive Snare Wires Gavin designed three special 8 strand snare wire configurations. The standard assembled snare wire is the Straight which features 8 Stainless Steel strands in the center position. Unique Dampening Rings Another special feature is a set of three newly designed dampening rings (Light, Medium, Heavy) and they sit perfectly under the S-Hoop rim. Any range of overtone dampening can be achieved by using them separately or combined. Drumheads The snares are equipped with a Remo USA CS white coated, black dot batter head and a SONOR Medium Resonance head by Remo USA. New "Protean" Tuning Keys As a touring Pro, Gavin has to tune and exchange heads on a regular basis. Over the years he developed his own technique, which led to the development of a set of two special designed tuning keys. The Protean keys make the exchange of heads and tuning, easier, faster and more convenient.
