Sonor SQ2 Birch Drum Set - Customer Demo

[geometricpatterns6]

very nice sounds a lot like danny carey's kit...punchy...with that instant attack in your face sound that Sonor has...love em.

[TommtheDrummer]

Im not really toooo bothered about how they sound saw, you can make a kit sound like anything nowadays, i have a swingstar and i think it sounds killer, i just go off the look i guess

[bentecho]

its amazing, i dont mean to dis in any way, drums are drums, i can get my old pearl export to sound this good, obvs this kit can sound better than my pearl export, but if they dont have the benifit of a nice room its no good. I can hear all the room modes etc.

[pescalante2]

@bentecho I'm with you man, with proper tuning and proper heads for your drums they can sound extremely good, the only place where you'll notice the difference is in a recording studio or in a rehearsal room that's been setup pretty well

[bentecho]

@pescalante2 yeah, i did some recording for a video in a proper studio, big live room with all the walls angled etc, i was playing my sonor 3007, the bass drum sounded so amazing, its sounded like a new drum kit. Im thinking of buying a delite, but the more research i do, i dont think im going bother. Im prob gonna buy a yamaha stage custom or mapex meridian, get the edges done if nescsarry, had that done on my old pearl, like a new kit, Double 45 to a sharp point. punchy!

@bentecho I'm selling my old Stage Custom Advantage kit for $650. Is there any chance you'd be interested?

[MrGuppie14263]

look at the bassrumbeater it's a DW

[TillmannBTVdrums]

haha, bud, put the mic BEHIND the port hole. not inside it.

[jmdrummer7]

Nice kit, I had a set of Sonor Phonic Plus drums back in the late 80's. Well built drums, however I feel they are a little over-priced. I play a Ludwig maple kit that sounds every bit as good for about half the price.

[lotzi20062006lotzi]

you should learn how to tune your drums... sonor sq2 are some of the best kits ever

[asenseofhate]

sounds great but that finish looks dull and like it needs to be grain filled

[uhoh38125]

Well i just learned how you get that Carter Beauford tom sound....Birch!

[stoletoto]

bass drum sounds like ass... try to put some 300-400Hz down like -4,5,6db, and some 8kHz like 3,4,5db up in mix.... it should sound better...

[HomesliceDrummer]

@stoletoto

I agree. It sounds more like "Fluff" than "boom".

The EQ on it is terrible.

[sick898]

Sexy kit indeed :D

What did you attach snare mic with? and what mic is it ?

[AirsoftCritics]

does your bass drum have any attack.

[DrumsScotchPoker]

Yep, this was my kit / recording. Turns out you should NEVER put the bass mic half inside the port hole. Lesson learned. :)

[Qalstootel]

Everything sounds good, and then the bass drum just ruins it.

[RadioJack]

that 15x15 floor sounds incredible.

[Ramen1020]

WTF did they do to the bass drum?

[MasonBangsDrums]

@Ramen1020

cut a vent hole into the resonant head?

the inner veneer makes it look as thought the interior is scratched up, when in reality, it isnt

[Ramen1020]

@MasonBangsDrums

I wasn't talking about how it looks, I was talking about how it sounds.

[outlawedman]

@Ramen1020 Just wasn't mic'd correctly.

[AllInDrummer]

@Ramen1020 EMAD2 with the bigger mufling ring nylon patch and felt side of the DW beaters ... disgusting... instead smaller ring on a single ply emad the smaller ring and the plastic patch with plastic or wooden beaters...imo

[AlanM11Drums]

@AllInDrummer Agreed... that setup will give the kick more thump, click and presence...

[MasonBangsDrums]

@Ramen1020 is that because it sounds good?

[capomundial86]

i am doing the same finish to my force 2000 bop kit. it used to have a weird blue plastic wrap, now it has ebony veneer wrapping, and also the same matte finish. it looks great and it was cheap as hell, only 60 bucks.

[kickasskearnsy]

was the first 7 seconds seconds of that meant to aesthetics of hate by machine head?

[Sven360x]

or any punk song ever written

[GrayDaysSR22]

Sweet! Except for the bass.
