Big "Beefy" drum sound. Love your descriptions Nick! I never thought drums to be "beefy" till I heard you say it. And I must agree you're spot on, as usual :) Yeah, Sonor make some well made pretty killer sounding drums. I think they do stand out as "unique" sounding compared to other drums. Really nice.
I really think Zildjian Custom A cymbals are the most "musical" of cymbals, still to this day. Very bright, cut through anything, but fade nicely so not to be overbearing. They are also some of the easiest cymbals to mic no matter where you are playing. I started with Zildjian Custom A cymbals on my first kit, and they are* still my cymbals of choice 30 years later. (yes, I spent more on cymbals than I did on drums my first drum set). I never want my cymbals to sound like trash can lids, and most of the "entry" level cymbals sound just lke that, trash cans. lol.
If you pause at 1:40 you can see the reinforcement rings on the inside of the shells, indicating that it's the vintage configuration. It looks like 8x7, 10x7, 12x8 rack toms, 14x14 and 16x16 floors toms. Kick could be 22x17 or 22x18.
This drum brand and these drums get so much hype yet I’ve never heard of drum set. That sounds good, so I’m not really sure what everybody is talking about and why they are even talking it’s like they feel like it’s something they have to say because the sound is not there, and for the amount of money they want for these drums it’s completely ridiculous over priced in overhyped that is Sonor
I usually prefer no tom mount on the bass drum at all, though I can live with most of them if I have to, but that thing.... what have they done those crazy Germans, did they put a Panzer's turret on the bass drum ?!?!?! (I'm just joking and in fact I think both, the kit and Nick, sound amazing, yet I still do find that piece of harware in particular "a bit" exagerated...)
Yeah.. It's freaking awesome IMO (and they also have a basic one), and Sonor has offered that for around 30 years.. . ...... Nick talks about it here at 4:34
Very nice! See how he’s not hitting the drums overly hard! Firm but not bashing. When you bash you look like a savage idiot and people won’t want you touching their kit.

Nick is such a beast 💪
I'm not a percussionist but that is a really great presentation.
Always great Nick. You're an excellent teacher and a treasure for Sweetwater.
The sound of this drums is fantastic!
Sonor bro. Please checkem out more. Start with prolites.
I'm from America and I think this german company makes the best drums out there period. Aq2 is their more affordable line.
Awesome drummer and the best drum reviewer on the net!

Nick is just the greatest
I have my Bose head phones on & the kit sounds amazing.!! Along with Nick tight playing..
Great breakdown and killer song! Thanks for breaking that fill portion down too.
Amazing drumming Nick 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nobody:
His Hats : *shake* *shake* *shake*
That bass drum tom holder is like something off a Tiger tank! Omg
absolute Dreamkit !
The hardware on these is hilarious.
The rocket launcher alone has got me eyeing one of these as my next kit.
Kit sounds good....those toms almost sound like concerts.
Any plans to play in the San Antonio, TX area?
Love to see ya live...masked of course. 🤪
Ooohhh I love the music on this one.....my new fave (or at least tied with Passion)
Nice gear. And what is a finish on a sonor drum set and your snare drum?

Awesome!
Will be cool to know the mics and audio interface used for this recording. Sounds incredible.
SQ2 kits are so detailed: exact sizes please, and ... are those 'vintage' maple shells on this kit?
If you pause at 1:40 you can see the reinforcement rings on the inside of the shells, indicating that it's the vintage configuration. It looks like 8x7, 10x7, 12x8 rack toms, 14x14 and 16x16 floors toms. Kick could be 22x17 or 22x18.
I have a Sonor SQ2 kit with the rocket launcher double Tom holder. Great video thanks for sharing!👍👏
All the same heads I have. Good lad 👌👌👌
Definitely the most ballsy tune on the album.
Always loved Sonor sound and looks but the tom mounts are so overly massive!!
Excelente.
"I love big hats."
Ima thro depthz anissss!

Crazy thing is, it doesn't penetrate the shell at all.You can remove the whole thing if it never exsisted.
HA! It looks like a baseball bat sticking out of there on an otherwise beautiful kit.
nobody gonna talk about that crazy rack tom mount?
Yeah.. It's freaking awesome IMO (and they also have a basic one), and Sonor has offered that for around 30 years.. . ...... Nick talks about it here at 4:34
Lol, the “rocket launcher.” Overkill.
Whoa that snare is so gated you completely lose Nick's ghost notes in the opening fills! Kit sounds great otherwise
its my bday

Is it just me or the bass drum resonate a bit too much? Toms sound great tho :P
Um.. don't like that snare for some reason
Did I mention this is the ugliest drum set I’ve ever seen
