Part of Sonor's enduring legacy is they never stopped listening to and working with innovative artists. Artists who could choose any company, but choose Sonor because the drums come first.
Chris is such a perfect endorser. One of the best players, amazing spokesman, and truely loves the gear he plays and is involved with each company he’s with. With that said, a lot of these hardware innovations have already been around with tama. Tama been had rubber in the mounts and hardware for maximum sustain, and tama has the quick lock tom and floor Tom brackets with the air cushioned floor Tom legs that let it move alittle and bounce up and down and just feels amazing. But props to Sonor for making it their own and coming up with cool stuff. I think tama and Sonor are the two best drum companies in the world.
I think he just got a sweeter endorsement deal. DW makes some of the absolute best stuff on the market if you’ve got the money; sonor is the only company that regularly gives them a run for their money.
@@1dudecrush That's very subjective. I would go with Sonor in terms of reliability any time over DW. DW has a premium/trendy brand image, but in terms of actual quality you can find just as good or better if aim for high end kits of other brands.
DW are based in California and that's where Lang lives. I think it would be more convenient to be a DW artist living and working in that area, compared to Sonor. See also, Chad Smith, based in the same area, leaving Pearl for DW. Endorsements aren't just about the drums themselves, the level of support a company can give on a logistical level is also key.
You won’t get a production Sonor in maple now because it comes from Canada. That costs. They get the beech locally and the birch comes from Finland. If it’s EU, not as expensive. Thus, the SQ1.
My SQ1 goes trough 5 ° C and 30° C during the short summer here and i can tell u all that sounds alwais amazing even when i tune it on weed and the day later i listen to what i've recorded :D Very proud of my choice !
It will most likely take a min, they’re doing something special for him. They’re doing it in a wood they don’t offer. His kit is going to be oak wood. It will sound unbelievable
@@EliPoli64 this is true, but Chris is Chris and sonor would do that for him. I hung out with him last month and was asking when that sq2 was coming in and he said that he’s holding off on it for now and he’s designing a signature snare with sonor. That’s the latest update I have on the matter.
Chris ist ein fantastischer Drummer und Sonor baut wirklich hervorragende Drums. Mich persönlich stören nur zwei Punkte an der sq1 Präsentation. Warum verbaut Sonor in dieser Serie Kessel, die DICKER sind als medium Kessel?? Ein Drumset, das mit maximalem Sustain wirbt, sollte vielleicht Kessel haben, die zwischen thin und medium angelegt sind. Ist die Verwendung der dicken Kessel eine Homage an das alte Sonorlite??. - Abgesehen davon, hat mir die Konstruktion, das Finish und die Böckchen der - leider - nur kurzfristig zu erwerbenden Birch infinite Serie besser gefallen (Geschmack). Der zweite Kritikpunkt ist der Sound des Mixes der Präsentationsvideos der sq1 Serie. In KEINEM EINZIGEN Video mit Chris zu dieser Serie kann man auch nur ansatzweise den Druck und das Sustain der Kessel erahnen..... eigentlich schade.......und schwer zu verstehen....
If I could post photos I would of the 3 defects I got when I purchased these. Voids in ply's, and unfinished ply in bass drum. These should have never left the plant.
One of the worlds best drummers, on one of the best kits in the world: No reverb on drums and mixing/blend with the music is horrible. This could have sounded awesome with 10 minutes of mixing(!)
No doubt they make great drums. I got my Birch Infinite kit in May of 2014 my 2nd Sonor kit. Decided to go to a bass drum mount last May so I have less hardware to move. This 63 year old body can't lift like it use to. Still waiting for it as of today Feb.15. Very hard... no almost impossible to get parts.

iNNerBeaTzMusic he's using his signature Vic Firth stick. They sell them at Guitar Center currently, although they tend to sell fast between shipments.
that song is called "Garden Wall" and it's from the Dave Weckl Contemporary Drummer + One Play-Along Package. Quite fun to play. I did a cover of it on my Channel too. Check it out if you like :-) Merry Christmas!
what an awesome guy...I'm a 51 y/o white guy in Europe & I'm pretty sure by now on a blindtest....I hear a drummer is white or black....black is just so much better.
FrustratedTurtle glad I ain't the only one!... everyone trying to be different with the funky cymbal angles and askew BD logos... when they are just along for the ride with all the others doing the same. Chris don't need to do this to stand out..
Benevolent Backpacker Cymbal angles actually have a effect on the sound and might help moving around the set, the bass drum head doesnt effect anything but messes with my OCD too much.
FrustratedTurtle , agree to disagree about the cymbal angles.. it's a fad.. plain and simple..it defies logic how angling a cymbal differently affects it's sound especially when mics are in play. This trend came about in the last few years, if the argument is sitting high on the throne nessesitates this for better sound or mobility around the kit..I pose the fact that the great jazz drummers from the 40s and 50s sat almost standing up and never did this with their cymbals and still managed to sound great ( un-mic'd to boot ) and burn around the kit. A recent drummer that comes to mind is Steve Smith..who also sits high, and cooks around the kit ..and from seeing him in clinic numerous times..his cymbals projected just fine..again un- mic'd. But agreed, my OCD - ness wants to reach through the damn screen and straighten that head!😉 But I respect your view on the situation!
I know what you are saying, but its not a fad, and for the record, I don't do it, but I can explain why people do it. When a cymbal is flat or tiled forward and screwed down fairly loose, you can sometimes he top cymbal as it moves back to its normal position if you hit it in quick succession. But when a cymbal is tilted backwards, you are only able to hit the cymbal on the edge which will derive the most volume from the cymbal, and it will also come back to its normal position faster as gravity pulls it back, unlike the tilted forward or flat cymbal. Its basically for full volume constantly.
Just ordered my SQ1

(Andy Ham) The quick-lock tom brackets were invented by Noble and Cooley.
Sonor is so underrated, not by drummers but by commersials, I can`t get over that T Lang left Sonor for DW
money..........just bought.

I remember a video where he explained that the DW factory is around the corner where he lives, and it had its advantages.
I seriously dig his style and those drums..wow!
His cymbals sound great, too. I’m becoming a Meinl fan. I’ve owned a beautiful SQ2…now will go with an SQ 1 . Thnx for posting this
Right? With how many videos I see these days of people playing Meinl cymbals and them sounding absolutely superb, they're really winning me over.
Chris is a monster player. I see a fair amount of Tony Williams influence. I'm thinking of grabbing an SQ1 snare to go with my Delite kit.
hey man, i have one and is great, the whole kit sounds and looks amazing ! Change the heads or use them fast and switch to others ;)
chris sounds like he's deeply involved in the company 👍🏻
Ordered mine 20/10/12/14 floor due june 2020
How is the 14" floor tom? I feel a little concerned I will miss a 16"
Shiniest head award 💪

Is there anyone know where can I download this Dave w backing track please ?
When is Chris getting his new sq2 kit? I am freaking so ready to see that beautiful Monster!
It will most likely take a min, they’re doing something special for him. They’re doing it in a wood they don’t offer. His kit is going to be oak wood. It will sound unbelievable
@@drumjosh1987 oak? Sonor doesn't use oak. It's gonna be maple

@@drumjosh1987 I thank you seriously for this information you just gave me. I'm gonna get ready to drop 1400 dollars on a snare

How much SQ1 and SQ2?
If I could post photos I would of the 3 defects I got when I purchased these. Voids in ply's, and unfinished ply in bass drum. These should have never left the plant.
Nice.😃👍

Quiero tener esa seria de drums

With which dealer did you order it?
Long and McQuade

Does anyone know what kind of stick bag chris is using????
iNNerBeaTzMusic he's using his signature Vic Firth stick. They sell them at Guitar Center currently, although they tend to sell fast between shipments.
He’s using a NEWFOLDER stick bag. His is a custom designed so you can’t get his exact one yet.
Hi! What's up bro!
Did SQ 2 take place of the dilght coustom ??
does someone know the song he Plays along?
that song is called "Garden Wall" and it's from the Dave Weckl Contemporary Drummer + One Play-Along Package. Quite fun to play. I did a cover of it on my Channel too. Check it out if you like :-)
Merry Christmas!
thank you man! Have some beautiful days too!
what an awesome guy...I'm a 51 y/o white guy in Europe & I'm pretty sure by now on a blindtest....I hear a drummer is white or black....black is just so much better.
why does he play Weckl stuff to show off ?!
They're pretty good friends. They've played together on multiple occasions so it is more likely done as a hommage to an inspiration of his.
Florian is now with Gretsch. Ha.
You have too be knowledgable about the company...
That diagonal bass drum head triggers me so fucking much

Nice ad for Meinl cymbals...Completely unimpressed with the drums...They sound flat and sterile imo
