[@georgebaggy]

This is one of best sounding kits I've seen on youtube.

[@JazzyJonas]

They both sound great to me, but I especially love the "slap" or "spank" sound the clears give the floor toms.

[@AaronHoller]

I agree, thank you!

[@SCFireDrummer]

You are a fantastic and very musical player!! Refreshing!! I, too, at 49 years old and 41 years of “different” high end kits, made the switch to the most musical drums I ever heard or played. Sonor’s are absolutely in a class all by themselves and do it without all of the slogan rich advertising used by just about every other drum company out there. My SQ1’s fit in every musical style I’m called to do!! Thanks for sharing your passion with the rest of us😁👍🥁

[@kimberlygarcia1863]

Just wow!! Sick on them drums!! Whoever wants to be a drummer or excel your drumming to another level, study this guy right here! He is on a different level than the rest! Always been a fan of this guy here! Nice Aaron! Beto

[@ChristianSchroll02]

I think thats the sickest Drum Sound i have ever heard !

[@cristians114]

You can tell you are one dedicated drummer and it shows, nice work dude 👍🏻

[@fernyfloresdrummer3568]

The coated ones sound beautiful!

[@tripledeluxedday]

Great sounding kit! I like both options. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@nickracine]

Great demo between both heads! Both are great! My pick are the clears though! Love the kit! Sonor is the best!

[@AaronHoller]

Totally agree! Thank s for watching.

[@ehav]

Thanks for this! I normally use coated heads on toms but these clears have nice attack without sounding like plastic.

[@jeffbridges6110]

Killer drum sound. Those toms sing.

[@danlc95]

Detroit Tigers! Drums sound great, love the demo. Thanks!

[@AaronHoller]

thank you very much

[@paulysci925]

I just saw chris Coleman playing this same configuration with a 20” bass it was insane 🤯👽

[@jw-ep8pu]

OMG.. thats sound is so killer,🤤 And your skill is awesome and dope..

[@hugodanielpanther8082]

Mis respetos Aaron excelente comparación y excelente bataco

[@Johnnygigdrummer]

You sold me I e never used aquarium heads but I think they will sound great for my Gretsch kit thanks

[@TheReal_Animale]

Excellent test video. Appreciated.

[@JustinHubbard84]

I need to know you get your kick sounding so damn good

[@AaronHoller]

Aquarian Force 1 batter and Aquarian Force II reso with hole at 4 o'clock area, and the old I shaped DW pillow inside. www.lessonsquad.com/items/1163335992

[@arsonne]

Man this is THE SOUND! How do you get them so high and 'tube-y' while still sounding so amazing and not choked at all? I can't wait to buy this kit.

[@TuplexGaming]

Excellent tuning, micing, and playing. They sound great. Personally I like the clears in this comparison. I like the tuning intervals between the toms, do you do it by ear or do you have specific intervals you are going for?

[@AaronHoller]

I tune by ear and by feel.

[@mickywatnots3700]

Off to get an SQ1 snare, like NOW!

[@filsolano5465]

Did you make the switch from Dw to Sonor? If you did, you made the right choice. Not bashing on drum workshop, they are great instruments, but Sonor are greater in my opinion. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the comparison. Sonor >Dw

[@AaronHoller]

Yes I did make the switch to Sonor from DW and one listen tells you exactly why I did it!

[@that-avr-drummer]

@@AaronHoller I did as well!!

[@austing.8870]

You definitely made the right choice. DW’s quality has been disappointing as of late. Sonor’s quality is second to none, and this is coming from a Tama guy.

[@micaiasbriceno9376]

Exelente comparación y admirable como baterista

[@AaronHoller]

Muchas gracias

[@victorbotelloelcaballerode7534]

MUy buena domostracion de ambos tanto parches como batería

[@ND-iz6dd]

Bro how do you tune your drums!? I love this sound!

[@hola-bp8ji]

Excelente baterista saludos

[@rocksmonsterriffs]

black heads sound darker / clear heads sound brighter they both sound sick bro

[@cesargarza3780]

Brutal amigo

[@AaronHoller]

gracias

[@alexsaucedavaldez7316]

Can you make a tuning tutorial?

[@AaronHoller]

I can look into it

[@nekroorocka5767]

Gracias por el video, eres bueno.👍

[@originaldrumlesstunes8622]

Any tuning advice? I have an SQ1 kit but your toms sound so much better than mine!

[@AaronHoller]

I don't do anything special other than tension both heads to the same pitch, and if that doesn't work, then I tension up the reso only.

[@HermesTrismegistes369]

Hell yeah!

[@AaronHoller]

Thanks

[@larrytate1657]

Seems like your Sq2 floor toms def resonate a bit more than these did, agree? Thanks

[@AaronHoller]

without a doubt, it's due to the thin shells vs. the thicker shells of the SQ1. The shell thickness is unique to SQ1 because it's in between heavy and medium.

[@moisesjonathanbrionesherna7948]

Excelente 👍🏻

[@jasonwilliams9852]

I’ve got the SQ1 kit too, any suggestions on tuning a 13,16, 18” toms?

[@AaronHoller]

I prefer 2 ply batter and single ply reso; specifically Aquarian Response 2 Clear and Classic Clear. www.lessonsquad.com/items/1911360329 www.lessonsquad.com/items/1355575096 I tune both heads to the same pitch, or reso no more then a minor 3rd higher sometimes.

[@beracaheavy]

Y opinión entre esa Sonor y las Dw. ... Saludos cordiales

[@AaronHoller]

Sonor es mejor

[@Vefanian]

Dont you use ur Benny Greb Signatur Snare anymore? Do you prefer the SQ1 Snare over Bennys Snare? Amazing Sounding Kit btw! :D

[@AaronHoller]

Yes, I still use the Benny Greb. They are both great snares, and one is not particularly better then the other, just a different color.

[@Vefanian]

@@AaronHoller Are you uploading more Demos of your SQ1 soon? I just cant get enough !:D

[@geraldoneto5301]

Boa tarde Aaron tem como você gravar outro vídeo mostrando o processo de como você afina os toms da sua bateria, por favor! Vc utiliza afinadores? E quais?

[@EduardoLopez-xd9wg]

Exelente baterista.no usas sordinas en los Toms y por qué ?

[@larrytate1657]

Nice! Are the SQ1a a thick or thin shell?

[@AaronHoller]

It's in between medium and heavy. Toms are 7 ply 7mm, and the kick is 10ply 10mm

[@larrytate1657]

Thanks. With the Aquarian black response 2, is it the same coating as a white head and the same sound or different? Thanks

[@jaylee8703]

Hey Aaron !! Did you switch from DW to Sonor ?? Two of my buddies switched from DW to Sonor in the last year... and these guys were DW addicts !!

[@AaronHoller]

Yes I did switch from DW to Sonor

Do you use a DrumDial?

[@german80]

Buena comparacion. me gustan mas las coated. cuales prefieres tu aaron?

[@AaronHoller]

Muchas gracias hermano pero en esta batería específica prefiero clara

[@german80]

@@AaronHoller orale igual las dos se oyen muy bien. voy a usar este video para afinar una bateria que compre hace poco. gracias por tus videos. no hay muchos que toquen con grupos conocidos y se graben y suban videos de buena calidad a youtube

Que parches resonantes recomiendas??

[@jordanhernandez3790]

💯 Crack.

[@CarlosAntonioAlanis]

Your vids remind me of Ervey105

[@BoY860]

Prefer the clear tones, also nice playing!

[@paulbolin7513]

The clears have more tone and are more vibrant. The coated are warmer and more controlled. Duh.

[@stevenfederico2594]

Not for me

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

The issue is you are using aquarian heads😂 i mean atleast go evans hahaha

[@georgeb6300]

Hey man don't mock Aquarian they make some killer heads (as you can hear)

[@jonathanstotz1868]

The issue is your superiority complex, and ignorance of the slight differences between top-tier drum heads. No one with integrity presents themselves like this, only a child that doesn't understand how to think and communicate.
