Au passage, le désintérêt de Sonor pour les cercles moulés est plus ou moins historique:

I raised the point about the rims on Sonor drums: I had been led to believe that cast rims were better than the pressed steel variety', particularly when it comes to cutting down overtones, and yet I had only seen cast rims on the Signature snare drums. Steve answered, "You get a choice. The standard pressed rim is 1.5mm thick, but the Signature pressed rim is 2.5mm thick. That helps cut down on the overtones. They cost as much to produce as a cast rim. They are pressed out on the same machine that is used for making the metal snare drums; this means that they are seamless. They are not a cheap option. With a normal pressed rim, you have more flexibility with the tuning. A cast rim is so solid that you can very nearly put one on a 14" drum, put four tension rods on it, and tune it. If you tighten it down in four places, the rim is so rigid that it will pull the head down evenly all the way around. The pressed steel rim won't do that, so you need all the tension bolts to be brought into play to tune the drum. If Sonor uses pressed rims, it isn't for cost; it's for tunability-the customer has a choice anyway-at the same price.

Ca pourrait, en partie, expliquer le pourquoi du comment il n'y a pas de cercles moulés en 13"... Bon, ça n'explique qu'en partie...

Surtout, il faut comprendre que les emboutis signature font 2.5mm d’épaisseur, au lieu des emboutis normaux de 1.5mm.
Un peu comme chez Pearl, qui propose des emboutis normaux 1.6mm et les superhoops en 2.3mm, ou les nouveaux Fat Tone Hoop en 1.6mm mais pliés/soudés, et les Die Cast bien sur.

Bref une histoire de gout.
