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

[mdloser]

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.

Could you add a video with 24 - 13 - 16 configuration? Thanks

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.

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.

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!

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 😂

[SimonChampagne]

That kick is like thunder droppin' the C.

[HadEnough]

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.

The original Sonorlite kits back in the day were absolutely the best birch drums you could buy. I credit Sonor, DW, and a multitude of independent custom shops for practically FORCING the major manufacturers both in the US and abroad to up their game in the production and quality departments. Everyone benefited. Now, as a result, you can go out and buy the best drums that companies like Ludwig and Gretsch have ever made since the vintage eras.

After watching tons of reviews I finally found the perfect sounding drumkit. I’ve been a big fan of the Gretsch sounds (Renown is great) but for me now this SQ1 Kit just has it all.

[munton]

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

[jaylee]

Shane .. your new store definitely has MUCH better acoustics than the old store. This is one of the ONLY vids of these SQ1's that does any justice to the sound at all. All the others suck, IMO, that I've heard.

[SuperMolamola]

Sounds amazing!!! 34 snares on the back! 😍 all ratlling haha

[ampdrum]

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.

[PowersOnDrums]

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

[benjaminllinas]

Hey I haven't played the sq1 kit yet, but I have tried a new recording custom and loved it. How do these compare to Yamaha rc.? I was thinking of pulling the trigger on a recording custom, but I can actually save some money and seek out sq1.

[KevinZ]

Good grief Charlie Brown !!
What a tone !!
Amazing and mouth watering

[ScottHunterBooks]

Hiya - tunebot settings for the toms would be great - thanks.

[rigorhead]

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.
