Hey yall! I'm planning on ordering a custom SQ2 (prolly in late 2026) and I'm starting to look into some snares that could get me a "KAW" sound (especially on rimshots ofc) or something similar like in Tom Sawyer by Rush or The Trooper by Iron Maiden to use with the SQ2 set. I contacted Drum...

I lately got a vintage Sonor 14"x4,5" marching snare. The shell has the mallets logo imprinted and is vintage size (14.13 inches), only Classic Fit drumheads can be fitted. It looks like it is has the 362 hoops and bolts, but the shell looks like a 200 series. Any information about this beauty...

Does anybody know the size of the slotted tension screws on the Sonor Force 2000? I want to replace mines for square headed screws. The Force 2000 screws seem thicker than the modern screws, but I have no idea with what modern tension screws I can replace them. I need this for a Force 2000 kit...

So a year ago I was given this drum by a friend of a friend who I did some plumbing work for. It was essentially part of my payment/tip for the work. The guy was aware that I play and this drum had been sitting around unused for a while because he had to stop playing for health reasons a few...

Hello, I'm new here. I'm looking for further info on a Sonor Drum kit from the 60s. I used to play regularly but don't anymore - though hoping to take it back up with a few fellow dads at my daughter's school. Also be good to know more about decent, affordable e-kits etc. Thanks, Tom

So I recently bought a Sonor Kompressor Series Aluminum Snare drum. I like aluminum snares, and I think this drum has a great tone, looks great and the hardware seems well built. However... I wasn't crazy about how it was tuning up out of the box. Then I replaced the stock batter head which...

Dear fellow drummers, Since I was patching up an old steel snare (bought it somewhere around 1988) I was wondering if I could call this snare a vintage snare. My gut feeling said 'yes' but thinking about the real age of it (about 37 years) I thought 'no'. But I was not sure wich was the right...

Hey guys, I hope you all are having a great day/week! I own a beautiful Sonor Prolite kit (10x8/12x9/14x14/20x17.5) in Nussbaum finish. Absolutely gorgeous. This is my first kit with a 12x9 rack tom, I've always played 12x8. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make that one tom-tom...

Just curious ... if you had to choose wich one of these snares would you pick? And why would you pick it, or why would you not pick it? British Drum Company Raven, 14x6, birch? Sonor SQ1, 14x6.5, birch? Sonor Artist Series, 14x6, maple?

I currently have a gretsch catlina maple kit from around 2007-2010. Its a fun kit but i want to replace it because i want a smaller kick. So far I’m heavily leaning towards the sonor aq2 series. My question is: would switching to the aq2 from the catalina maple even be an upgrade or should i...

A friend has a couple of snares he is fixing. I know very little about Sonor, in fact i am sonor averse. Could you help me id please? Drum1: Drum2:

Hey guys! Just wanted to share this here. We just finished pt.2 of our Sonor SQ2 comparison video and it was a HUGE project. I know I went through great lengths to make sure the tuning was as precise as possible and that I captured the audio the best I could. Check it out here and let me know...

I’m hoping some knowledgeable SONOR fans are out there somewhere to help me out. I recently got a used Designer from Guitar Center, which initially was missing parts which have now been found (yay!). I have one remaining issue - the floor tom does not stand up! There is apparently an issue with...

Hi Sonor fans, I recently picked up a used Sonor Designer from Guitar Center, and on receiving it found out that they had failed to send me the legs for the 16" floor tom, or the mounting bracket for the floating 14" floor tom. Suffice to say I was not very impressed! I'm waiting to hear from...

hi! i am thinking about buying a new drumset, instead of reconditioning my Sonor Champion set. i am to choose between the Sonor Force 1007 and DDrum Diablo Death Punx 7 Piece Drum Set... which one do you find it better and why? i play alternative rock, but my favourite drummers are the...

Hi, I am about to purchase a new drum kit, but I really can't decide between a Pearl Reference and a Sonor Delight. Can anyone on this forum help me please? I don't want to spend $10,000 on a kit and then regret it (yes,that's how much they cost in Malta. Thanks alot for your help!! Jonathan

Hi. There aren't a whole lot of resources and information on the Sonor 3005 when compared to the other series of drums that are in its range so I figured I would post here a few things about it so people can find it. I bought a red sparkle ltd. edition set in sizes 22kick, 10,12,14x14, and 14...
