SONOR presents the Danny Carey Signature Snare Drum

Ok, I'm on a roll (pun intended). I guess it's "snare drum week" here at the home office. Ha!

Yes, another snare drum is being unleashed on the world. Combine the frightening chops of a drummer like Danny Carey, and a drum company like Sonor (insert random joke about scary Germans), and you get this...

The Danny Carey Signature Snare Drum. According to the folks at Sonor, it features a 1 mm Bronze Shell, Artist Series Snare Drum Style lugs, and 2.3 mm Power Hoops. It's an 8" deep drum, and the shell is covered by several unique talisman symbols -- similar to those favored by a certain band that Mr. Carey has been know to make time with. Danny’s signature is engraved around the air hole.

I had the rare treat of seeing Danny Carey play with a band called Volto! at a small club in Los Angeles a couple years back. Catch them at the Knitting Factory March 6th if you're in SoCal. Not to be missed, the guy is a monster.

The Danny Carey Signature Snare Drum is available at most music retail stores starting February/March 2009. Also, I need to post this sweet pic of what it's like to sit behind Danny's kit...surreal.
