Felix, that Sonor is a NICE kit! what would you have to give for one of those?
Rick
well, you would have to find one first. Then the dood would have to be in the selling mood. Buying a vintage sonor kit is usually not a smooth and pleasant experience. I'd say a 6 piece set of those could be in the two to 3.5 range depending on condition, sizes/pieces and really what the guy wants for them. There are less of these than scandi sonorlites. I love sonorlites (birch), don't get me wrong- but the hilite, especially in this color is a little closer to my taste and sound. And I have NEVER heard a more monstrous kick sound in a kit.  RAWK! But yeah, I have a friend here in cleveland whom I met thru the sonor board and he has a deep violet hilite kit- 10, 12, 13, 16, 22" set with a matching 8" deep snare. He loves these drums and I've had the pleasure of playing them. Lucky for me he bought an SQ2 kit so he is considering selling these to me. Considering being the operative word there. And I would rather have a black diamond finish than the violet. But I think I might get a decent deal on them. Hopefully under 2K. |

My current object of desire is a set of DW Jazz Series drums... the tonal quality is just great. I heard a set side by side with an identical Collector's series (in terms of sizes) kit and it was just night & day. The Jazz series just has the "it" factor for me. A bit of throatiness, kind of a naturally higher pitch but with some warmth -- not a tin-can high ringiness. I'd also like to hear a Legacy Classic kit because they look great, but they don't offer the sizes + finish I want so it's hard to totally play the gear lust game there.  Oh, and I heard a K Con at Chad Sexton's last week that absolutely killed. But mostly: DW Jazz series. That's what I'm saving my extra pennies for. |

The used Tama Starclassic Birch that i had my eye on just got snatched up by somebody esle. oh what a sad day.
I always love sitting down and playing the DW at GC. The local guys care enough to tune it up. I just sit there and play so simply and just listen to the toms ring. ahhhh.

One of my close friends has a SC birch kit and it sounds great! I play it all the time when I'm over there. He's always trying to sell it and it's his best sounding kit! Me and his wife are like "you're crazy if you sell that!"
DW's are fab. I bought one in 1989 for 4000 bucks with cymbals and cases. That was a huge amount of money for me now and especially back then. My god, tho' that kit sounded so warm and resonant! I really learned what "maple" was all about with that kit. I sold it for 1700 bucks 10 years later. Great drums. Inspired the whole thin shell maple revolution which now seems pase'. At least those are my thoughts anyways.

I keep running into used Tama SC Birch kits... Everywhere I go they're calling my name. I acutally got to tune one up at GC last night and I really liked it. I think the axe is falling... me and a SC birch are going to hook up soon.
Until then, I take a towel with me to GC to wipe up the drool.

I was kinda hopin' to get some trick drums some day. I'm curious of their aluminum shells, and their quality and sounds.... As informed by Dave, they're quite loud and low end. And custom finishes seem to have a nice effect on them.    |

*shwing* (Sweet hilite link snipped) Awe, it's in Berlin  I've ALWAYS loved the look of those Hilites. There was something about DeJohnette's kit (aside from the guy sitting behind it) around that time, it had such a sweet look. Those drums, the copper hardware, and those crazy first-generation DeJohnette signatures. Awesome stuff. |

Nice. I'll take half the kit. The bass drum, the medium tom, and the suspended tom next to the medium tom. |

ehh. doesn't do anything for me. Must be the lighting but the brown is just "off" in my opinion in this shot. It doesn't look like real wood.
