I am appalled by all those saying that the mix is awful. This is raw audio so that you can hear the drums themselves and they sound AMAZING. I really dig it when you have just the room mics, since this is kinda what I would hear from behind the kit. So, well done, Sonor. Wish I could afford those in the future!!!
Absolutely superb drumming. The overall excellence of his accuracy, creativity, musicality, precise application of power and technical skills is stunning. Bravo (as usual)!!
Tilting the cymbals slightly away from yourself is a stroke of ergonomic genius. I just recently tried it and it is great. Easier to choke amd gives you a cleaner sound. Amazing.
Don't ever ignore his videos LOL he is a genius..... i know there are so many grown and advanced drummers like him, like Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl, Sony Emory and the likes, but to me Chris is an extra ordinary genius.
Blessed to have new content from Chris Coleman. Thanks Sonor, as big, big, big fan couldn't appreciate it more. Plus grateful to finally grab a pair of his signature sticks. Wish I could just be in his presence to learn something not just about drums but life as well great guy and awesome musician. as well. ✌Sonor 😊
Aaron B1001 😁...I didn't say I met him, I don't know him actually, I have just followed all his work just on RUclips(Including watching every interview I could dig up) as him being a inspiration to play the drums. He just seems like an awesome musician and guy off the kit based off everything I've seen and heard simply here thru RUclips. But it would make my life if I did see him in person. Believe me, I just keep on dreaming though
Aaron B1001 I know you enjoy it, Honestly once heard him talk about counting while playing really changed the game for me and opened up a new door for me, honestly I really want to school to study drums and percussion though
Wow, fantastical! Has that powerful Billy Cobham/Dennis Chambers backbeat feel, with a little more of his own musical feel. Drums sound amazing as well, would totally buy this kit.
Chris to me is like the Bruce Lee of drumming. Pure emotional content in his playing. Dig the black outfit. Enter the Dragon. Enter Chris Coleman. Don't think. Feel. It just hits by itself baby. Sonor has the future of drumming in hand. The most exciting player today.
awesome drums. Played them and instantly knew it was my next gigging kit. Not sure this video brings it out, but the kick is killer, and the toms are a perfect blend of sustain, attack, and boom, w/o the long sustain. Perfect live drums. Nice job Sonor.
Yeah, that's the way people edit these days, they just follow trends, pasting these various angles in rapid succession without really grasping the concept of rhythm and timing, true professionals give the viewer time to take in and process what they are seeing, most of these videos are made by kids with fancy software, smh...
@@roneystapes except this video right? Cause the cuts were very much rhythmic. I agree though that there should've been more of a plot and an underlying movement instead of just...angles thrown at my face.
I've played a Sonor kit for over 40 years.But I'm wondering who mixed the Sound track including the kit itself. Because when I hear a Sonor kit i want to actually hear the Sonor sound from the toms in particular. I'm afraid that I'm not hearing that from this Video. However i look forward to actually playing this model for myself because I'm due for a new one.
drummarr61 Agreed 100%, when showcasing a beautiful Sonor kit...it shouldn't be drown out by a backing track. I'd love an SQ kit but the wife said we can't sell the car.😉
Agree, drummarr61. Not to mention the fact that in this clip, Coleman is primarily playing SD, BD and cymbals. I wanted to hear much more from the toms...
lol okay? Perhaps we could say that same about your playing, though no one was questioning Coleman's playing. The dude is fantastic. What we are talking about is how we can't really hear the kit so it doesn't really accomplish the task of showing off the new line.
@@Joshstix95to have options. Depends on the song you're playing, or purpose of the video. Sometimes you want a Room heavy mix, other times you want a super dry and near field mix. If its a Company showcase, like this. They want to show the pure sound. If they would have used this video or audio to promote the song itself, then the drummix would've been mixed for that purpose.
With so many open mikes, what would one expect than deterioration of the sound quality! Three microphones would have been enough (the old 1960's technique...)!
It sure would be cool to actually have the whole video focused on the hi-hat stand and hi-hat cymbal..instead of a metronome..I see plenty of drummer's missing movements..
Chris..you bang the squirrels out of the hi-hats. But I'm looking for a video that tells the story of the single base drum drummer..that hi-hat is key knowledge
so obviously that was the sickest drumming I've seen all week, but the hi hats made almost no noise. I dunno if that was a mixing thing or a meinl thing but it would have been cool to have just that roaring, all out attack that I'm sure we all would have heard if we were there.
Great chops. Why in the last several years has it been popular to tilt your cymbals at an angle up and away from the correct angle? Not I’ve only been a drummer singer songwriter for 36 years, however every lesson I’ve ever had each instructor explained not only will you not crack or break your cymbals but sticks as well. It in no way changes the sound of the cymbals. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors.
They don't work for me on a sound level based on the audio that has been available so far. But if you care to re-read my reply, you'll see I have caveated that with, " I would like to hear them in the flesh"! No need to be so defensive, it's all very, very subjective. Just to ad, perhaps you'd care to read a few more of the choice replies concerning these new drums below and ask similar questions, as I fail to see why mine has struck a chord!
Neverokful 😂😂 ... not defensive at all ☺️ ... jus want to understand where you're coming from. I like them regardless, of anyone's opinion .. BUT .. as a company/family, we care a great deal to know what the fans/consumers think, that's all. So we're watching & listening ☺️
Really, well I'm touched mate that as a "company/family" you care so much, although as a hardened cynic, I find that difficult to believe, but I'll take you on your word. :-) These are the positive and negative aspects of the internet and audio, as it can distort the true essence of the shell and so give the "wrong" impression potentially. I suppose you also have to take into account other brands that have been making classic Birch shells for a very long time, and so it's going to be a hard contest to convince otherwise. Good luck :-)
Joe Satriani, Chris Coleman, Victor Wooten, Frank Gambale, and other crazy, insane musician are all BALD HEAD!!,.. when i grow up I wanna get Bald head! :D :D LOL!
its sonor for an American audience i think is the marketing idea with the names and colors and birch high-endedness of it nice kit but id take most of the previous years kit models over it if i was spending money they excite me these do not. its probably the best birch option but for new sonor money im getting beech or thin maple. i wish they'd do an exotic walnut /maple/ walnut for the 3 plies then that would have been crazy! im very into the delite shells with the birdeyes sound or the Newport or Nussbaum sound second. dont get me wrong this IS an amazing sounding kit but so is the birch infinite and recording custom ;) good job anyways sonor all the product is generally superior to most companies ( i love the new tama star and phx and george way/craviotto kits but would buy a used delite all day long if i were spending money and save the remaining difference in price!)
Great guy and skills. Unfortunate mix. Is there a hole in that bass drum? And has that snare been left in the freezer for a couple years before playing??
I expect that's the way Chris likes it. When I saw it in the first video of his, I wanked, but it's just his unique signature look. CERTAINLY NOTHING complain about. How about the rhythm track being louder than the most excellent drums. That's worth fussing over, not the angled logo.

One does not simply ignore a Chris Coleman video
Andrew Andrew best comment on this lol
Indeed. But Chris Coleman is a beast on any drum kit. He is promoting this new sonor model... só that has to be questioned.
why??
haha that's a good one
Andrew Andrew 'LL.GG.'

Always been a huge fan of Chris' style, approach, and tone. Not to mention he seems like a really genuine guy. He plays, I listen.
Don't ever ignore his videos LOL he is a genius..... i know there are so many grown and advanced drummers like him, like Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl, Sony Emory and the likes, but to me Chris is an extra ordinary genius.
Dudes like this guy are the reason I play guitar.
EPIC. This is the New Fusion. Extreme and musical. Sonor and Meinl were wise
to hook up with Chris. He is the future of drumming.

same here. when count it definitely keeps u from fall in off the beat
gosh, kaz's music was really good with chris drumming style
Amazing drummer!!! Chris talent is definitely in beast mode hands down. Love watching and listening, keep it up...
Wow, fantastical! Has that powerful Billy Cobham/Dennis Chambers backbeat feel, with a little more of his own musical feel. Drums sound amazing as well, would totally buy this kit.
Those epic fills are so musical, man his playing...
Meinl + sonor = german perfection
meinl and sonor made in germany??
Yes both companies are German.
German and Turkish perfection...
Chris to me is like the Bruce Lee of drumming. Pure emotional content in his playing. Dig the black outfit. Enter the Dragon. Enter Chris Coleman. Don't think. Feel. It just hits by itself baby. Sonor has the future of drumming in hand. The most exciting player today.
You are the best Chris.... God Bless you!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Gotta have that signature Coleman smile at the end :)
It's tough to take in this beautiful drum kit when the camera angle changes every 3 seconds.
Yeah, that's the way people edit these days, they just follow trends, pasting these various angles in rapid succession without really grasping the concept of rhythm and timing, true professionals give the viewer time to take in and process what they are seeing, most of these videos are made by kids with fancy software, smh...
It’s a sonor 8” 10” 12” rack toms 14” 16” floor toms
Press pause

Pure power, precision and chops. Ok, I QUIT....AGAIN! INSPIRATIONAL, SIR.
I had the honor to be is drum tech in Israel..amazing guy amazing drummer!!!
ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMER CHRIS COLEMAN.❤
Cris Coleman sempre quebrando tudo nas técnicas parabéns grande Batera...👏👏👏
very beautiful drumkit. and great drumming. excellent performance
Never get tired of watching this monster shred!
That mix of explosive power and finesse is wild.
aweson !! God Bess ! Chris !! nice Drumset Sonor 👌
Wow just wow I love this track

I would also have preferred some better tom mic's, the audix are great but they color the sound of the drums.
Daniel Nehring how about commenting on the fact that Coleman is light years ahead of anything u could possibly dream about playing! Howbowdah!
lol okay? Perhaps we could say that same about your playing, though no one was questioning Coleman's playing. The dude is fantastic. What we are talking about is how we can't really hear the kit so it doesn't really accomplish the task of showing off the new line.
Amazing Drummer and a Amazing Sound 😊🥁👍🏻
Coleman is the goat
The Snare sound is probably the best that I have ever heard
why do drum play-along tracks always sound like Mario Kart
freaking flawless!!!!
chris coleman ... i love you man
Respect.....this guy continues to mind blow😎
Dude is such a freak of nature I can't even follow the "1"...
WOW!!! JUST WOW!!!!
Amazing sound's Snare!!! que caja central increible
Mind blowing drummer
J'❤❤❤❤👍👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪 super vraiment j'aime beaucoup un super batteur avec son style propre quand il joue j'écoute et je ne suis jamais déçu
drums sound like it was recorded from one room mic
DankTard that is kind of the purpose of the video, to showcase the raw sound of the kit.
@@DTnorwayDT then why did they mic the kit up ?

Seriously, if you are showcasing your drums, spend the money on the Engineer/Mixer not the damn video production.
that bassdrum sounds horrible
@@max2334 so damn bad

another classic performance.
for me he is the best of the world
The gate is strong w this one

surreal!!!
Monster!
I love sonor very much.
And also Chris Coleman.
But I can't hear the ghost notes well.
So we want to hear the ghost notes and cymbals well.
Chris is amazing, I love the sonorous drums, I just do not have one
Really cool man
Sweet set
Tight , Chris !
Chris Coleman toca muito
Awesome!
awesome broo
How many plies is this kit?
Demasiado Brutal
nice kit!
those who dislike this, deserve a swift shoryuken..
As in!! What is there to dislike, except for the wiring/cables running to the drums :-( Could have been done better
Those are probably for the audio
Oh, YEAH!
i love the bass drum! present, powerful but not the least bit dominant.
Whoever mixed this should be fired. The drums sound awful
The Word Grizzly drum promo with full tilt editing masking the drum sound........ huh
That's why they paid that person to mix instead of you obviously
I do dig the sound. This is how one usually hears the drums from behind them and these sound killer. Just my take on it, though.
maybe speakers have improved since two years ago 😂 sounds fine to me.
With so many open mikes, what would one expect than deterioration of the sound quality! Three microphones would have been enough (the old 1960's technique...)!

oh my god I cant believe it.
wow!!!!!
How can I get that kick sound?? The tune very awesomeeee
EPIC!!
You are fantastic!!!! That battery use in everyday life???
kickass
Chewing his gum in an odd time signature as always!
@SonorDrumTube could we possibly get a version of the soloing near the end without the backing track?...
Screw it, the whole thing
so obviously that was the sickest drumming I've seen all week, but the hi hats made almost no noise. I dunno if that was a mixing thing or a meinl thing but it would have been cool to have just that roaring, all out attack that I'm sure we all would have heard if we were there.

how is that snare tuned tho, like wtf. its insane
please tell
Him and Benny Greb , the best dudes on sonor
Great video, audio mix kinda disappointing tho :(
Great guy and skills. Unfortunate mix. Is there a hole in that bass drum? And has that snare been left in the freezer for a couple years before playing??
Kinda irritates me the Sonor logo in the bass drum isn't straight and level 😠

I love this comment lmao and it oddly irritates myself as well. 😂😂
