Enjoy the movie and check out www.sonor.com for more information about the new features, available drums and a finish overview!
i like how gavin harrison is strugling with coordination in lhd car, but he can do biblical shit behind the drums
Hahaha, to je to! Ali mene fascinira ton njegovog bubnja, ne znam da li više odlepim kad čujem tomove ili kick
sonor makes my favorite drums, period...dw, pearl, tama, ayotte, noble and cooley...the list of drum manufacturers that impress me less than sonor goes on forever...even their $400 kits sound amazing...how is that even possible?
"So thank you Hansi"
"Bidde"
"Bitte" actually...
rockdahaus „actually“ actually... 😂😂😂
@@XaverHauck thanks... 🤣
Ever had that feeling of switching over to a drum company but felt like you're cheating on the current one because of serious consideration ? Well, that's what i'm thinking with Sonor drums... I won't mention the other company, but they made a certain finish very famous because of a certain famous drummer back in 1964.. ;)
Nothing compares to the sound of Sonor drums.
I still don't understand how they do it, but Sonor drums simply sound (much) better than anything else.
there is something about this video that makes it so captivating... i think its the drummers making the drums sound so musical that totally boost the drum's capability.
Beautiful sound, Sonor like always bringing quality and precision to the table.....
They Sound Better than they look, and they look stunning!
In my opinion Sonor's Select Force along with the Prolite are the best sounding, most musical drums I've heard. They have superb resonance, sustain and the strongest tone. I got a 12 rack Select Force tom added to my 1998 Premier Cabria, I use it as the 1st and highest tuned tom of the 4 in my set, tuned in Bb of the higher octave with an evans clear G2 on the batter side and man it sounds so awesome combined with the Premier toms wich are dark sounding due to its hybrid shell of blue gum eucalyptus and dark red meranti (phillipine mahogany). Also the 45 degree bearing edges are flawless and the T.A.R mounting system looks beautiful and really does enhance the resonance and sustain of the drums. Sonor drums kick ass!! 👊
I agree.
The creme white finish ia matt and looks the same than the beech set but it's a completely new developed colour... I tested it with playing cascara on the shell and you did not see anything- no scratches. I really love that finish and the touch of it.
WONDERFUL DRUMS! Congrats!
Factory guys are all named after elves eh? Hansi manni fartsi and drumzee
You're right. You could definitely buy all of that for the price of one SQ2 kit and even I think it's silly that they charge so much. Same goes for Yamaha's PHX, DW's Collector's Series, Pearl's Masterworks... But for that price you're getting one hell of a drum set from a manufacturer that's been in the business for 138 years. Besides, if your paying that much then I believe you know what you're getting into. I hardly believe it's out of touch. Out of its mind maybe...but it's worked so far ;)
You BETTER be making some SERIOUS MONEY!!!
gavin
good drummers, bad actors :D
Gavin can make any drum set sound amazing.
it's like I hear a marimba when I listen to gavin harrison playing.....
Seriously, Gavin just seems like a genuine, nice guy. Would be nice to have a chat with him about.... stuff (politics, economics, philosophy, religion, music and everything else that makes human kind.... human).
was thinking the same about him.
he did a clinic at my work, and well, i have bad news :P
Haha, really?
he was kind of a prick :P ... really snobby like, "don't touch this" "I need these mics or i wont do the clinic" "people give me things and I leave them in hotel rooms because I don't care" ... so on and so forth
Hm.. :/ that's kinda disappointing
After playing and endorsing a certain drum company for over 20 years who sadly really don’t even focus on their kits anymore I decided it was time for a good look around and a change. I hope to have my first Sonor kit arriving here at the studio next week. I didn’t go for the Pro Lite or SQ2 but the Essential Force as I really liked the short stack toms and as of yet not being an endorsee the price was awesome. I will be recording the full drum tracks for the first A.G.D record out of C.A as well as shooting video for Samplitude Pro X 3 Magix official which I do endorse and will be on their site soon. Great times ahead and great video for Pro Lite
what a snare sound ;o 7:04
Horrible sound..
SONOR. PLEASE HELP ME. I know i can purchase sonor bass drum skins, with it being white, smooth white, black, etc.... But the SQ2 i've got (btw i f*%$in love it to bits) i ordered with the natural (with a SONOR and SQ2 logo). I know there is one style replacement skin which is black (with the SQ2 logo). im just asking if it possible could you please make it so i could purchase any style SQ2 bass drum skin replacement. i would like to purchase a white one but it is not available to purchase. thx
Best drums in the world, no doubt. I'm proud to own an S-Class Pro kit, but these Prolites are making my mouth water. The snare throwoff is so perfectly designed, why has nobody done this yet?!!
Gavin's playing is superb, and his technical knowledge of drum hardware and sound is unsurpassed.
i MUST know, however...is SONOR making and selling the bar attachment for his chimes?? check out 5:21 and you'll see...
Wish I could afford one of these kits. Damn
same
+Charlie & snoopy Well... save your money... for three or four years. :(
hombreenojado
Yeah right! I have a wife and a small kid.
I'm happy with my Tama kit. But a guy can dream lol
Well then. Maybe 6 years. Lol.
Charge it and pay a couple hundred a month haha.
@FlorianAlexandruZorn thankyou for the help. thats what I'm going to probably get now, thanks. just have to wait until the prelate series is available at my nearest drum shops. thanks again.
Why have the Bass Drums gotten longer??!!! Just a Sales ploy by reinventing the product!!!
Im impressed. Sounds good. the live customs are still my favorite
does anyone know if the creme white in this series is a matte white colour the same as the beech infinite special series kit?
@kevingoren Memphis Drum Shop sold a $8000 Craviotto drum set back in 2009... That's right, 8000 fucking dollar.
So yeah, there will definitely be customers.
@c0d3x001 Those Brushes I Think are from Vic Firth, they are called "Dreadlocks" if im not mistaken, their under the Corpmaster Marching Series....pretty cool
Last year I bought a Force 3007 Smooth Brown Burst kit, many extras 24 bass, 8, 10, 12, 14 rack toms; 14, 16, 18 floor toms, 14 snare and 10x2 jungle snare... love them... I just wish it was easier to get in touch with Sonor regarding customer support, my 14 snare was out of round right out of the box, I was able to get a rim and head on it but it would be nice to have it right... sales guy heavily encouraged me to deal with it because Sonor is so hard to deal with in the USA... that's a shame.
Ill tell you what those Germans are dang good craftsmans.
Well, the guys filming are brits. The documentary is probably made for an english speaking audience. That's why they probably asked them to speak english becuase it's easier to have them speak english than making an interview where they reply in german and then text it as it requires atleast another person to text the thing.
Just stirring the pot...sonor drums sound great, as to whom made the first drum "set" sonors earliest drum set is a 1942 while gretsch had the low boys pre dating the 1920s. Sonor is an older company (1875) gretsch (1883). I like alot of different stuff Yamaha makes a solid kit too. I think I'm just jonesing for a 50's 3 ply round badge...shwing!
One thing you will learn as music becomes a bigger part of your life is that price doesn't matter. Sometimes, we have to go the extra mile to get what we want. I'm one of those lucky few whose dream drum set doesn't cost much, but if my ideal setup was $10,000, I'd find some way to make that money. This is a kit designed for professional drummers, not hobbyists.
I'm not gonna complain saying their prices are high or something like that, although they're, and of course I can get pro sets for less money but I don't like them, simple as that. If I like the sound of a certain instrument and I really want it, I'll save as much money as I need to get it. Period.
god knows who factory tuned the sonor snare i got ...may as well have used the drill and threw it in a box."if" it really was tuned your wasting your factory time....great drums TOTALLY GREAT ....just dont get the tuning part of this vid and others ive seen :/
Agreed. No one is really much better. It's all the sound you want and what company provides that sound. That's why I dislike the sound of Pearl and Meinl but others find those to be their perfect sound. It's personal preference, it's all drums so respect it right?
You guys need to shop different places. NO one I have seen comes to the fit and finishes that sonor does. Not to mention the unique way they cut there shells is one of a kind. I got my prolite and have never heard a more amazing sounding kit period.
Alot of people "steal" other ideas others are doing, whether you like it or not. Zildjian is looking into making 85% copper, 15% tin alloy bronze for new cymbals which paiste has been doing for over 20 years on their Signature Series.
Most of DWs' I've heard sound muddy and strangely hollow. Or the guys playing them just want to tune their drums that way. There have been times when I have had doubts for the Sonor, too. But I just love the sharp, solid and transparent punch of my Sonors :)
Can't seem to locate a dealer with displayed prices. Can anyone tell me what I can expect to pay for a configuration in the video? Played Tama drums my entire life and the thought of switching to Sonor is tempting...price is a deal maker/ breaker.
@kevingoren They have a lot of them, my drum teacher plays sonor and several other people I know. Granted they are all endorsed, but my next kit will more than likely be Sonor. As much as I want to support the American economy...
No I don't actually, but I think Sonor makes the better drums, even if DW has a greater range of finishes. I will say this about DW, John Good is extraordinarily passionate about building drums. I've learnt a lot from him.
I have a Prolite kit and an SQ2 heavy beech kit. Don't ask me which I prefer because the answer may surprise you. ;-)
wow what hihat is Florian using? That sounds eeexxxcellent. great drums too. really rich tom sounds, and its cool to see how everyone is getting different sounds out of their snares.
What i want to know is if the Craftsman can play the drums as well ashe makes them! Haha. On a serious note. the drums sound soo amazing, that man is such an artist..
@xCrumblingMirth It's all parts from the basic arm system.
Totally agree best drums out there, if you think these sound good you should hear an SQ2 in person.
What did he use on his snare at 3:08? Just a head with the rim facing down or what? Sounds so cool!
Gavin the whole world is driving like this so I guess YOU English are funny :P
Can anyone tell me what that circular pad thing Rene Creemers grabs at 3:05 & puts on his snare to make it super-fat sounding?
don't quote me on this, but it might just be a drumhead without the rim. i think i've seen benny greb do the same thing.
*&^^&*(*&^&*(*&^&*( does anybody know what those little zildjian cymbals are on the red kit. i cant find them anywhere!!!!
I don't think i've ever heard a crummy sounding Sonor drum or drum kit..German engineering ..A step ahead of everyone..
00:40 Anybody notice those woods look like the woods in Human Centipede?
@aledrums87 Actually, it's a Protection Racket carpet, who also makes cases. I'm guessing Florian endorses them.
custom bells made by gavin himself and made by zildjian, you can custom order them
Sonor made the best sounding kit that I have ever heard.
I don't like Gavin Harrison's playing.
Two facts.
what a great sound, i like it very much!
8:27 it remind me on benny greb's solo on the dvd "the language of drumming"
dat ahit sounds good with the mics and everything but what if we took out da mics how would it sound
@NADRUMMER Because he got a signature snare already. . . if he present again, SONOR would own by HIM.
Why do prolites cost more than SQ1'S?
what mallet is florian using?
the first thing i tested in the generator was, is the new strainer on sq2 too. it is!
HEY I'm gonna check out my neighbors new drumkit...
rene creemers lives beside me...
Gavin should have Mercedes or BMW ! not that shitty small car, he is the KING :D
"They've got some new drums. I'm gonna go ad play them" I don't why but I got a good laugh out of those 2 sentences. Gavin is a goddamn BEAST!
gavin harrison, oh men that how drums want to be treated
Does any one else get a special feeling right at 3:36?
Everything is just a copy of a gretsch round badge kit...just not as good
Zorn's set up and playing is insanely similar to that of Benny Greb's..
Had to feature this video on my page: facebook . com/drummingcommunity
14 Tage für eine Snare Lackierung`? Wer soll das zahlen^^? Glaube da kam iwas nicht richtig rüber oder?
nah drumbassadors are more entertaining i think
this looks rubbery.....like the rubber type silencer//dedner pads
It's the vic firth dreadlocks model.
That part of Germany kinda looks like CT. USA
fuckin Sonor, lower your prices than maybe i'll buy a kit haha
Ich liebe Sonor (spiele ein Sonor Designer) und diese neuen Drums hören sich fantastisch an! (was man bis jetzt so aus dem Video entnehmen kann)
Da merkt man halt Made in Geramny
So, thank you Hansi ! .. BITTE :DD
3 people realized that they cant afford it
sonor really endorse the best drummers... gavin harrison, benny greb, steve smith, jojo mayer, all world class. world class drums as well.
I have a 6 pc. maple Tama Starclassic, and a 6 pc. maple DW Collectors Series. Both great kits - one better than the other IMHO....Probably selling the DW and replacing it with either Sonor Prolite's or SQ2.
Nice kits. Yeah I think DW makes the most beautiful finishes of any company but I'm not the biggest fan of their sound. They sound a lil square and boxy to me. Not warm enough. Tama star classic I like lot. I have a Yamaha maple absolute nouveau that I love and I too want the prolite bad for my next kit :) . Cheers
@NADRUMMER Benny is too busy tearing up Spongebob drumsets :P
Is it true that all Sonor drum shell made by Mapex now ? :(
The economical Chinese Sonors are made in the same KHS factory that makes Mapex, though they're on different production lines. The Prolites, SQ2s, and Vintage Series are all German made.
@bangmygavel
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR HIM
@FlorianAlexandruZorn prolite*
Sonor. You probably make the best drums on Earth for a larger company, but until you can get your prices down a notch on your stuff, Tama or Gretsch are going to get my money. I just can't justify paying Gretsch Renown level prices for a beginner level Force kit, Starclassic Bubinga level prices for an intermediate Ascent series kit, and used DW prices for a professional level Prolite set. And you can forget SQ2.I could get a independent company to build me something you guys couldn't. I'm sorry
No Jojo Mayer, Tomas Haake?
Drum Channel. If you make this, I will finally sign up.
Does anyone know what brushes were being used at 8:12 ?
I feel you brother, it's the same with DW or Q drum co. or any custom american brand for me. I live in central Europe.
All about this video is inspiring..the drums, the drumming, the video edition, the place where they play....i'm from Argentina (so i'm not biased with following opinion) i have great and special respect for German and Japanese industries. Whatever it says...made in Germany or in Japan, i have the feel that those things couldn't be better...nor the design, nor the construction, nor the materials they use. The Meinl cymbals are a better match with the kit imo.the Benny Greb combo, can't go wrong.
The should've had Benny Greb come try these drums out
Gavin Harrison makes up for the absence of Benny Greb
What a shock- the guy who calls himself "Gretsch Basher" thinks all other drums revolve around what Gretsch did or does. Never mind the FACT that Rogers, Noble and Cooley, and (ta-da!) SONOR (among others) were ALL making drums before Gretsch even came into existence.
This drum line sounds great. I'm happy they finally changed the snare strainer - the ones they replaced were not up to par at all.
Agreed @Carlo Von Sexron. Totally agreed. If i was to buy a pro kit from one of the big house brands, pound for pound it would be Starclassic maple. Highwood drums, near where i live make me a truly custom kit for a grand cheaper than the equivalent sonor set.
The first 20 seconds reminded me a lot of old Top Gear
