You know the Germans always make good stuff

@sgudalaguy I prefer Sonor and Sabian/Meinl :-)

@maggotvenger94 not just looks:) I believe by just folding the center, it makes the shell more tougher and sturdier. Science and music:)

LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE GERMAN PEOPLE

@unlikeanyotherhuman Sadly, no. This level of quality was reserved only for the top shelf lines. In ~2000 SONOR discontinued production of deep-drawn metal shell snares. They still make high quality metal shelled snares, but none are seamless. The Designer was the end of the seamless shells. The seamless Designer, Signature & Phonic snares are now selling for premium $ on the used market. The Designer drums are super hard to come by, having only imported 7 into the USA in 2000.

@maggotvenger94 folding of the seam is done to strengthen the shell (protection against going out of round)!

@maggotvenger94 Id say its for rigidity

I've got a ferro manganese sonor from the early 80's. It's fantastic.
Why do they fold the senter?
Looks?

Yes, just looks. The Ferro Designers did not have a center bead.

It's really cool to see how they are made. I never knew that the snare shell started out as one flat disc.

The SONOR Phonic, Signature & Designer Series along with the original Ludwig Black Beauty were made that way. SONOR quit making seamless metal snares about 2000...not sure if the current Black Beauty models are seamless or not. It's a very costly & time consuming process.
