Sonor SQ1 3pc Drum Set 22/12/16 - Video Demo 

I just purchased a Sonor Prolite after spending years playing on a "Custom Best Drums in The World" kit. I must say... I am absolutely blown away by the quality, craftmanship, precision and overall sound and playability of Sonor kits. I am 100% sold on Sonor. Anyone who hasn't played one of these kits needs to go try one out immediately!

I've owned 2 sets of Pearl drums, one set of Gretsch and now a Mapex kit. In my opinion, Sonor make THE BEST sounding drums in the world. I can't wait till I own a Sonor kit. I'll probably buy an SQ1. I think I'll be happy with them for life.

I just got the SQ1 320 shell pack from DCP. Shane answered the phone and sold me Sonor and a smattering of PAiSTe cymbals. Got Jost Nickel snare too. Best kit I've ever played. Great service from Barret. Big, deep, focused sound boys and girls.

Great video! Any chance reviewing 24/13/16 SQ1?

That kick is like thunder droppin' the C.

Seriously? These sound incredible especially with headphones in this video. Maybe the best sounding demo video yet.

The drums are great BUT the room has a lot to do with the sound here. That natural reverb from the room will make most drum kits sound great. Imagine if he was playing like he meant it..They would even sound better.

What batter head is on the kick?

Part 2: I put Evans UV2 on top and UV1 on bottom toms, UV EMAD on kick with EQ pad and EQ3 reso. HD dry on Jost Nickel top ,300 on bottom. Here's the CRAZY part: Sounds like a cross between old birch Tama Superstars and Gretsch USA Custom. Therse's that birch slice and punch, but a pleasing warmth that reminds me of Charlie Watts on "You can't always get what you want". That's my 12" tom sound. Crazy, I know. Just a word to you fence-sitters, this is a kit for sound, not looks to impress the girls.

Good Sound !!!

You guys always have the best sounding drums in all your videos, whether it be a budget kit or a super high-end kit. Thanks, they're very intertaining to watch.

Just got mine two days ago in green. What a sound. I have Fiberskyn Ambassadors on my batters, stick reso heads and a black suede emperor on the matching snare. It's a winning combination for me.

Sonor kits just sound incredible. I think Sonor, TAMA, Ludwig, & Gretsch, are my favorite drum manufacturers out there right. But, there are so many great drum makers out there that it’s so hard to choose 😂

I too am a huge fan of birch drum kits. I have been playing Sonorlites off and on for the past 25 years. My current kit is a Sonorlite kit. I have tried/ purchased other kits like Ayotte, Yamaha Maple Customs, etc. I ALWAYS come back to Sonorlites. I discovered these SQ1's just yesterday and am blown away by the quality of the look and sound on these videos. I have not seen or heard a real SQ1 kit in person. I would love to hear the SQ1's with Aquarian Drum Heads. Great video and and review! Thanks! Dana

Well I have the Sonor Birch Infinte kit and its just fantastic, totally in love with the sound 😍Great attack and really deep lows👍

Shane gettin' DOWN in the Phat Room! I call that room the "Phat Room" because every kit you record in there sounds huge. I still contend that a mint condition set of Sonorlites with a little modification( getting rid of that shell-killing mounting hardware from the 80's )are STILL some of the best birch drums you'll ever play. It's good to see( and hear )that they haven't lost their touch. Great kit!

You do great demos, Shane. Thanks!

Great sounding drums. Love an open Sonor kick

These sound ridiculously nice. The SQ1 might be my next (and final) kit.

This kit sounds phenomenal with Aquarian Response II heads on it!
