Keep doing what you're doing mate, love the effort to make these videos.
Really hope you blow up on youtube....Best unboxing and in depth reviews out there with no fake bull shit EQ'ing or effects.
Much love and big thanks from Melbourne
Gorgeous drums. Love that finish with the natural birch, makes it pop!
Yes! Beautiful.
So cool. One of the best drum unboxing and review videos this year. Subscribed!
Thanks for the the kind words and glad you dig it!
🤘🏽
That’s awesome Ivan. Thanks for following.
Great work and beautiful drums!
Thanks Stuart, appreciate the comment.
Scandinavian Birch as used by SONOR is perfection.
Agreed!
Super insightful, guys; thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Fantastic detailed unboxing, one of the best I've seen. Subbed!👍
Awesome! Glad you liked it, let your friend know.
Great job guys. Can you a medium beech sq2 when you have the chance?
Sure can Larry, it’s on the list.
Thanks. Two birch kits I’m torn between are Yamaha recording custom and this sq1. Which do you think are punchier?
Larry which way did you go?
What would be the sonic differences between medium maple, birch and beech in Sonor drums?
Hey Jay, our experience is that beech is the lowest, birch is more articulate and maple smoother. So a progressive rock drummer may prefer birch, a thise seeking a thumping low end, beech; for all round maple just works. Personally I'd mix the Timbers to suit the job, for example: toms/birch, floortoms/maple, kicks/beech. Regards Tony.
@@KillerDrumsTV Hey Tony, many thanks for the reply, and the great content on your channel, a new favourite!After hearing DCP's latest SQ2 shootout video, you're spot on about the medium birch, and beech having more pronounced lows!My dream kit is a toss up between SQ2 and Star!
All the best from the U.K.!

Yes! Sonor
Sonor is so nice... I would never play them
Every drum is worth a play. Over my years I have learnt that no matter what the brand a great drummer makes the instrument, and great drums, when they are found make that drummer even better.
Those rack toms are way tooo shallow. Where's the beef?! Lets see some POWER TOMS.
Man do we have power toms. Make sure you subscribe because we have one scheduled next month that has more power tom you’ll be able to handle in just one view.
That’s where the floor toms come in here. They could be tuned lower to and they’d fatten up.
I’m with you though when it comes to 10 x 7s. I prefer 10 x 8s. 10 x 7s get too bright for my taste and lose the nice “doom” but I have a 12 x 8 that’s still beefy as my 12 x 9s were and easier to position. So I like 10/8 12/8 and still plenty of tone interval between them with a lil tuning.
I built a kit in the early 2000's that I'll feature this year. The toms are 8x3.5, 10x4, 12x5, 14 x 8, 16x10 and 22x8. All maple shells with a few special proprietary edge treatments and WOW! This kit is low, very low.
I designed and built it as a rock kit, so lots of thud. But wanted it diverse, and able to handle higher tuning and not sound thin.
So, keep an eye out for this video, we'll make it mid year. All the best. Tony
Nice drums but not for that climate, why dont people ever consider these factors ! From snow to tropics, they cant even get their cars right let alone timber
You're so right man, as an Australian I can confirm we (like Germany) are the only countries without seasons! Also how do you think international touring drummers get around these "climate factors"?
@@nicolaspark1573 well if youve ever played in the tropics have you seen what those climates do to drums and hardware ?? I dont think you have .
And please dont bring up hired equipment , thats always generally fuked by these climates. Lets see who would take their own kit of decent quality long term and work in these environments both in doors and out doors .
I certainly wont wont be taking nor playing my collectors outside in Germanys 80% humidity and 35 degree nights !!! Sorry Darwin !
Hey Stelios, we are based in Australia obviously and although there are a couple of areas like North Queensland where the insane humidity plays havoc on wood instruments, having travelled Australia and pockets of the world playing drums we (and 99% of Australian drummers) have no trouble at all with such things here.
For those living in humid conditions, we recommend you buy a fibreglass kit, like the old Tempus drums, which we also have and sound great - 100% unaffected by weather - as well as buying high quality chrome hardware like Sonor offer, which will have the most resistance from moisture and it’s extreme elements or impacts.
All the best.
@@stelioscapetanakis9148 Mate, im sorry these are non-issues. Sit back and have a pina colada.
@@nicolaspark1573 mate after you finish with your medication,
Both kits of mine rnded up fuked afterva long term contract up north
Not that i care i factored in the wear n tear on them , but those timbers and steel work dont like the tropics
