That bass drum is really impressive; nice and punchy. I have worked with many bigger and more expensive bass drums in the studio that sound like door knockers. This little kid rocks.
For awhile, Maxwell's had demo of this kit with the blue wrap, and 3 different tuning's: low, med & high. They are really versatile and have a wide range of tuning. You can use them for any style of music.
Steve you make any kit sound great! Those drums do sound pretty good but to my ear the bass drum sounds like what it is..too small for general use but I guess for very small venues it would do fine. I have a Ddrum 'SE Flyer' bop kit that I bought last year specifically for small venue/acoustic applications and it does very well. Matter of fact I tried it out for a rock gig just as an experiment and it exceeded my expectations..got a lot of positive comments from the other band members and folks 'out in the house'. So I guess you can't 'judge a book by it's cover' where drums are concerned. Sonor makes great drums no matter what the sizes are.
Steve, I liked this kit before I found your video. I have to say, it's nice to find a drum kit review where the drums are tuned and the player can play! Great video and nice playing!
The kit sounds gread, but snare 12x5" comes with it. And, the difference between that for 599 and lacquer finish for 799 is not just in finish, that for 599 is poplar shell, and for 799 is 7 ply maple shell...it comes without cymbal arm...that one is my target...
Are you playing the stock hears ? If so they sound great. If not who can afford new heads on a new set. I hope you respond because i am seriously considering buying one. Thanks !!
+stevemaxweldrums *Does SONOR®/Hohner® offer a 12" x 5" AQ2 snare drum?* I'd think 12" x 5" a better match for the Martini's small toms than the 13" x 5", when all drums are tuned to their shells' respective Helmholtz frequencies.
The poplar version of the Martini I believe is 12.5 but they stopped making them in lieu of the maple AQ2. I have both the Martini and the Safari in poplar. Great little kits!
now iam owner of this kit...... the truth: the snare bed is not good......the plastic stripes to fix the snare wire slips thrue the holder !! dont wonder if you have problems with the wire tension. all lugs of the drum need massiv grease (oil) is this price range ... disapointing. one screw turning with fingers ..the next bolt is clamping. the heads doesnt resonate ..the bater heads...... 750,- € kit in europe ;-( so if you wont to play silent-not to loud the heads doesent work...china here china there. for little help: 8" and 13" toms change the resonant heat to the top and tune the fat bater heads ,that works now as resonant head a little lower than normal. the resonat heads on top will open the kit.......iam german and iam very disapointed about sonors little kit. greetings thomas.........oh i forgot the problem with the bassdrum hub on the batter side....the kickdrum pedal is to fare from the head away the angle of the pedal beater is much to big........because the woodhoops in conection with the bassdrum riser is touching the chain of the basspedal...... need to cut out the hoop. than you get closer withe pedal.

Nice little kit. And mr Maxwell makes it sound very convincing with his standard great swing& chops
