SONOR presents: new ProLite Drum series 

Nothing compares to the sound of Sonor drums.

there is something about this video that makes it so captivating... i think its the drummers making the drums sound so musical that totally boost the drum's capability.

I still don't understand how they do it, but Sonor drums simply sound (much) better than anything else.

i like how gavin harrison is strugling with coordination in lhd car, but he can do biblical shit behind the drums

sonor makes my favorite drums, period...dw, pearl, tama, ayotte, noble and cooley...the list of drum manufacturers that impress me less than sonor goes on forever...even their $400 kits sound amazing...how is that even possible?

Gavin can make any drum set sound amazing.

"So thank you Hansi" "Bidde"

Beautiful sound, Sonor like always bringing quality and precision to the table.....

WONDERFUL DRUMS! Congrats!

In my opinion Sonor's Select Force along with the Prolite are the best sounding, most musical drums I've heard. They have superb resonance, sustain and the strongest tone. I got a 12 rack Select Force tom added to my 1998 Premier Cabria, I use it as the 1st and highest tuned tom of the 4 in my set, tuned in Bb of the higher octave with an evans clear G2 on the batter side and man it sounds so awesome combined with the Premier toms wich are dark sounding due to its hybrid shell of blue gum eucalyptus and dark red meranti (phillipine mahogany). Also the 45 degree bearing edges are flawless and the T.A.R mounting system looks beautiful and really does enhance the resonance and sustain of the drums. Sonor drums kick ass!! 👊

They Sound Better than they look, and they look stunning!

i don't know how often ive watched this already, but the drumming and the drums are both so incredibly fantastic.

Good God, Gavin's kit sounds incredible! Definitely some of the best sounding drums I've EVER heard, that snare sounds great

They sound AMAZING!!!

Awesome, Gavin and Florian are 2 of my favourites

These sound incredible!! Some of the best sounding drums I have ever heard!

Kudos to Sonor for making quite possibly the coolest promotion video I've seen. Splendid

im gonna cry!! SUCH AN AMAZING SOUND!!

Im impressed. Sounds good. the live customs are still my favorite

It is wonderful to see a corporate and product message embedded in such a light and elegantly composed film. Gratulations.

wow these are some incredible sounding drums!

Wow soo cool!

❤ that silver sparkle though! ❤

i love that finishe!

"They've got some new drums. I'm gonna go ad play them" I don't why but I got a good laugh out of those 2 sentences. Gavin is a goddamn BEAST!

The creme white finish ia matt and looks the same than the beech set but it's a completely new developed colour... I tested it with playing cascara on the shell and you did not see anything- no scratches. I really love that finish and the touch of it.

sonor for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, Gavin just seems like a genuine, nice guy. Would be nice to have a chat with him about.... stuff (politics, economics, philosophy, religion, music and everything else that makes human kind.... human).

I build specialty snare drums from raw lumber as a sideline, but I'm honored and very fortunate to own a Sonor kit. They are a truly special drum company.

I really dig the drum patterns in this video.

Good work!

After playing and endorsing a certain drum company for over 20 years who sadly really don’t even focus on their kits anymore I decided it was time for a good look around and a change. I hope to have my first Sonor kit arriving here at the studio next week. I didn’t go for the Pro Lite or SQ2 but the Essential Force as I really liked the short stack toms and as of yet not being an endorsee the price was awesome. I will be recording the full drum tracks for the first A.G.D record out of C.A as well as shooting video for Samplitude Pro X 3 Magix official which I do endorse and will be on their site soon. Great times ahead and great video for Pro Lite

Love !

The guy on the four piece was awesome - so smooth and SO much groove. Sonors always sound absolutely amazing....I have the Safari Kit - which is as entry level as any kit could be...and it sounds amazing when it's tuned well.

So CoooooooooL !

The Sonor drum shack is a very cool place!

Que som maravilhoso!

this is liike a really good movie

Sweet!!!!

awesome

Sonor and Meinl - classic!

what a great sound, i like it very much! 8:27 it remind me on benny greb's solo on the dvd "the language of drumming"

Sonor makes probably the best looking drums out there! must say that Aaron Edgar showed me that, just a must to lay your eyes on!!

Ich liebe Sonor (spiele ein Sonor Designer) und diese neuen Drums hören sich fantastisch an! (was man bis jetzt so aus dem Video entnehmen kann) Da merkt man halt Made in Geramny

Those factory guys are badass drummers.

This video is so inspiring, motivating, entertaining, and awesome.

@FlorianAlexandruZorn thankyou for the help. thats what I'm going to probably get now, thanks. just have to wait until the prelate series is available at my nearest drum shops. thanks again.

whatta nice!

Ever had that feeling of switching over to a drum company but felt like you're cheating on the current one because of serious consideration ? Well, that's what i'm thinking with Sonor drums... I won't mention the other company, but they made a certain finish very famous because of a certain famous drummer back in 1964.. ;)

Damn those drums sing!

My first drumset was a sonor it was a ok set then I switch over to Tama now I want to go back to sonor I'm loving it's new sound

yeeaah! cool!!!

Best drums in the world, no doubt. I'm proud to own an S-Class Pro kit, but these Prolites are making my mouth water. The snare throwoff is so perfectly designed, why has nobody done this yet?!! Gavin's playing is superb, and his technical knowledge of drum hardware and sound is unsurpassed. i MUST know, however...is SONOR making and selling the bar attachment for his chimes?? check out 5:21 and you'll see...

Respect. :)

this middle of germany is just 15 miles from me :D Great drums

To me, these are some of the best sounding shells around today and leave most other top brands for dust. It's all subjective of course but the pure engineering, whether hand built or not, can be heard in the tone of the shells. At the end of the day, it's what we do with them that counts but even if the sound is not for you, one can at least respect the sheer depth of quality, history and knowledge of Sonor.

what a snare sound ;o 7:04

So, thank you Hansi ! .. BITTE :DD

I AM GETTING A SONOR KIT!!!

Perfect time for "Lost in Germany" from Kings X.

I SAy, well done. WELL done ole' chops. Drums are kinda nice too.

You're right. You could definitely buy all of that for the price of one SQ2 kit and even I think it's silly that they charge so much. Same goes for Yamaha's PHX, DW's Collector's Series, Pearl's Masterworks... But for that price you're getting one hell of a drum set from a manufacturer that's been in the business for 138 years. Besides, if your paying that much then I believe you know what you're getting into. I hardly believe it's out of touch. Out of its mind maybe...but it's worked so far ;)

Drum Channel. If you make this, I will finally sign up.

the first thing i tested in the generator was, is the new strainer on sq2 too. it is!

gavin

Met Florian Alexandru-Zorn a few days ago. What a great guy and awesome brush drummer. Sonor rocks. Their customer service lacks but...the drums are great, though.

super !!! Deja en vente ???

One thing you will learn as music becomes a bigger part of your life is that price doesn't matter. Sometimes, we have to go the extra mile to get what we want. I'm one of those lucky few whose dream drum set doesn't cost much, but if my ideal setup was $10,000, I'd find some way to make that money. This is a kit designed for professional drummers, not hobbyists.

@c0d3x001 Those Brushes I Think are from Vic Firth, they are called "Dreadlocks" if im not mistaken, their under the Corpmaster Marching Series....pretty cool

All about this video is inspiring..the drums, the drumming, the video edition, the place where they play....i'm from Argentina (so i'm not biased with following opinion) i have great and special respect for German and Japanese industries. Whatever it says...made in Germany or in Japan, i have the feel that those things couldn't be better...nor the design, nor the construction, nor the materials they use. The Meinl cymbals are a better match with the kit imo.the Benny Greb combo, can't go wrong.

Holy shit this kid sounds...amazing.

wow what hihat is Florian using? That sounds eeexxxcellent. great drums too. really rich tom sounds, and its cool to see how everyone is getting different sounds out of their snares.

yo quiero una!!!!!

i just want a sonor drum set...

The first 20 seconds reminded me a lot of old Top Gear

Never thought too much of sonor until seeing this. They look like Germany's "Pearl" drums

l really want a sonor SQ2 drum !!!

Dat Bass...

@aledrums87 Actually, it's a Protection Racket carpet, who also makes cases. I'm guessing Florian endorses them.

I feel you brother, it's the same with DW or Q drum co. or any custom american brand for me. I live in central Europe.

sonor really endorse the best drummers... gavin harrison, benny greb, steve smith, jojo mayer, all world class. world class drums as well.

@NADRUMMER Because he got a signature snare already. . . if he present again, SONOR would own by HIM.

Wish I could afford one of these kits. Damn

fuck what a sound !!!!

I wantt some

does anyone know if the creme white in this series is a matte white colour the same as the beech infinite special series kit?

I wish i'm in Germany now @@!

Agreed @Carlo Von Sexron. Totally agreed. If i was to buy a pro kit from one of the big house brands, pound for pound it would be Starclassic maple. Highwood drums, near where i live make me a truly custom kit for a grand cheaper than the equivalent sonor set.

These are not drummers, these are musicians!

@c0d3x001 Thanks a million!

Gute deutsche Handarbeite! So muss das sein ;) Spiele selbst auch mit Sonor

Top Gear for drummers

Most of DWs' I've heard sound muddy and strangely hollow. Or the guys playing them just want to tune their drums that way. There have been times when I have had doubts for the Sonor, too. But I just love the sharp, solid and transparent punch of my Sonors :)

What size floor toms do they use in this video?

dat ahit sounds good with the mics and everything but what if we took out da mics how would it sound

it's like I hear a marimba when I listen to gavin harrison playing.....

What i want to know is if the Craftsman can play the drums as well ashe makes them! Haha. On a serious note. the drums sound soo amazing, that man is such an artist..

Dutchies! :D

With Compressor and EQ many drum sets sound great.

What did he use on his snare at 3:08? Just a head with the rim facing down or what? Sounds so cool!
