NATO-1 HIGHLIGHTS

Adjust & Play On-The-Fly

  • Set the snare position anywhere in the entire moveable range without having to lock it in place.
  • Simply slide the handle to adjust & play on-the-fly.
  • The amount of force needed to turn the handle is completely under your control by a single friction adjustment screw.

Simple Design & Silent Operation

  • Both the snare wire tension (how tight the snare wires are) and snare wire position (near or far to the reso head) are adjusted using a single movement of the handle.
  • This simple design provides for an ultra-quiet operation as well as providing ultimate simplicity of operation.

Compact, Light, & Durable

  • Weighing just 3.9oz (112g) & only 2 5/8" tall, the NATO-1™ is hands-down the lightest and smallest snare strainer on the market today.
  • Extremely durable with its anodized surface treatment combined with the use of high grade aluminum.

Precision Machined

  • Made with high grade aluminum or brass and machined to .001 tolerances, each part fits and operates smoothly, reliably, and without rattling during play.
  • Each NATO-1™ is backed by a lifetime warranty for defects & craftsmanship.

NATO-1 Fit Evaluator

Search your drum brand or model, or check a known hole spacing, to see which Sonique throw-off fits.

The NATO-1 XL ships in 12 fixed spacing options from 3/8" to 1 11/16" (9.53mm–42.86mm). These are specific spacings, not a continuously adjustable range. The Original NATO-1 has four spacing options from 3/8" to 1 3/8".

So well built. Completely changed the way I play. I’m adjusting snare tension seamlessly without having to disengage the wires. That’s really easy to overlook, until you find yourself in the position of trying to adjust your wires at the top of 1st verse. It’s the details! Love this throw off so much!
