SONOR: Vintage Series Sound Test - GEAR GEAR GEAR 

Absolutely Travis. I concur. TM

Will do, as soon as we can get our hands on one.

Hey Roy, great to hear from you. Mark’s a great player that would have been a great show no doubt.

Jackie is the pocket man.

German here. Just some (useless) knowledge. I believe it reads Knobloch. It's a surname in Germany. Kobloch/Knoblauch: engl: garlic

Thanks Eric, thanks for watching

If I could add to the decision making intel, I’d add that if you’re playing larger venues live and mic’ed up go the Sonor. If you’re mostly playing smaller venues (still mic’ed) go the Broadkaster as it has a beautiful way of wrapping you up with an extra presence at the seat that’s special. Otherwise buy both! Regards Tony M

@@KillerDrumsTV thanks Tony. They do both sound sweet. I’ll be using them mostly at home, not gigged or mic’d. Any preference on what sounds better from behind the kit? Cheers for the thought, Glen

Owning both, I'd say that the Sonor clearly wins on tuning range and build quality. G's vintage hardware simply sucks. Both can sound wonderful.

@@glengoodwin I like Sonor.

@@larrytate1657 thanks mate. I ended up buying this kit. I’m so impressed with the fit, finish and sound! Truly a top class kit.

From Sonor "Vintage Series shells are made with 9 plies of select German beech for a 6mm total thickness."

Atilla, thanks for the comment. I kinda think Sonor were smarter than we think back then; you see Premier had many sizes of lugs as did so many other drum companies, but all have fallen by the way side most out of business. So if you think about it, as Sonor was using what they had, they kept costs down and as such kept themselves alive as a drum company. Funny, half a century on and everyone copied their offset lug design and called it Avantgarde and sort applause for their ingenuity. Technically it could be an advantage as it spreads the load over the shell. Either way, Sonor make great drum shells and drums.

Correct!
