SONOR Sound Demo: ProLite, SQ1 and Vintage side by side!

[@evolune]

Drooling over that vintage kit sound

[@adityarifqi5286]

prolite is more expensive then SQ1?

[@scottlowell493]

Far and away, I dig the vintage the most. I can never un-dig that fat, warm tone. The comfort food of drums...

[@ericpr0278]

The Benny Grebb snare is just like melting butter... so nice

[@07noir07]

The kick sound on that vintage kit is amazing!

[@mjm5081]

Beautiful looking and sounding drums. Always a joy to listen to Ralf play!

[@fuzzylogiceire]

The sound of the SQ1's appealed to me the most, but if I had to choose a snare, it would be the one that was paired with the ProLite kit.

[@calmac9720]

That;s a great demo- comparing only 'vintage' shells in each wood. Not to mention great sound and recording and great playing - highlighting the sound of the drums to the max!

[@digitaldrumming]

Thank you very much!

[@Drumguy48]

Vintage would get my purchase, but I already have a vintage series kit, so my next favourite is the Prolite.

[@gfer20]

Great video and great performance.

[@digitaldrumming]

Thanks man!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Excellent sound!

[@GearHeadz101]

Great playing

[@digitaldrumming]

Thanks pal ✌

[@aehsrose]

Wow! All kits sound great!! Ralf's playing is fantastic!!! He'd make a Chad Valley kit sound good!!!!

[@brandonmuschenick2785]

Amazing demo, props to those guys, fantastic drummers. They do fantastic e drum covers too. Best sounding drums in the world to my ears. Can't tell if I'd prefer sq1's or Prolite's. The vintage series sounds amazing too. Perfect pairing with the snare drums

[@digitaldrumming]

Thank you Brandon!

[@timsabepieczynski7051]

They all sound great. Im.leaning towards the prolite, but dam, that bass on the vintage

[@fernandoibarra1338]

Vintage series my god! 😍

[@gregchapman3519]

SQ1 smokes the lot of them. Best kit ive heard in a long time.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Great drums, great drummer.

[@nickdenardo6479]

I'm pretty sure the Benny Greb snare was originally marketed as an SQ2 snare. not SQ1 or vintage but i guess maybe we're comparing the shell packs here. i have to admit, i was focusing on the snares, as i usually do. i love the Benny Greb snare (which is why i own one) and the brass snare was mighty fine.

[@ikepapalua]

I always appreciate side by side comparisons. More so if the kits have a snare that matches the rest of the drums

[@digitaldrumming]

Hey man, these were the kit configurations that were available for shooting at that time here in Germany. Apart from the Benny Greb snare (which matches the vintage kit quite perfectly soundwise I think), the other two do match the kit. The Prolite is a brass snare though. Kind regards!

[@MaksimVorfolomeev]

awesome!

[@digitaldrumming]

Thank you Maksim!

[@gadymarcus5297]

magnifico.💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@digitaldrumming]

Thanks Marcus!

[@ImperialCityNord]

Wow he is GOOD!

[@digitaldrumming]

Thank you very much ✌

[@kwesito]

clean🍻

[@gypbob123]

It's nice to hear a comparison, and while different drums hit it off with different heads, it's hard to know their true differences with such different heads.

[@wilkinsnl]

Without the same sizes heads and tuning it’s pretty pointless.

[@digitaldrumming]

@@wilkinsnl Not pointless at all, as this was not a scientific attempt to make three completely different kits sound alike. It's a side by side showcase, featuring individual sound characteristics of three different kits for different situations/musical styles. Actually it is a mash up edit version of three full length demos to be found on Sonor drum tube.

[@TurgutAlpBekoglu]

Thanks for sharing..

[@matos17_mariano]

Vintage!

[@dougsprouse1150]

Would have nice if all the toms had of been the same size to get a true comparison. Just bought my first Sonor kit (have played Gretsch for years). I bought the SQ1 in Cruiser Blue. Put Evans EC2S heads on the toms. Sounds great. Still have 2 Gretsch kits but find myself behind the Sonor more and more

[@that-avr-drummer]

I'm thinking about trading in my Gretsch Brooklyn for sq1....not sure though.

[@that-avr-drummer]

I went with the sq-1 in Cruiser blue and couldn't be happier

[@digitaldrumming]

@@that-avr-drummer Fabulousness! Enjoy & happy drumming!

[@shazampanda]

Love this but I would really have loved to see this with the same heads on all the drums, we're getting a bit of a misread on the real differences between the drums. We've got coated stock Sonor heads, clear stock Sonor heads and then Evans EC2. That said, we've got a decent read on Vintage being the tubs, Pro-Lite with a bit of that open Great Gr-Sonor Sound and then the SQ1 with the punchy birch tone that we've known for a long time. No SQ2 because they're more boutique/custom?

[@digitaldrumming]

Hi, this video is actually a mash up of different sessions I shot with these 3 kits (solo & In The Mix sound demos, here on the channel also). The kits were actually not meant to be as alike as possible, but to rather show their individual strengths for different styles/genres. Hopefully I'll have the chance to shoot an SQ2 too soon! 😁 Kind regards!

[@shazampanda]

@@digitaldrumming Heard! Still, a great quality video and I think you did exactly what you wanted in showing off the strengths and voices of each of these kits.

[@rkaylor5769]

I have the SQ1 and Vintage. Just buy both.

[@digitaldrumming]

Agreed! 😄

[@fernandoramalho4448]

Wow! I want too! Kkkkkk

[@hadonghunha4908]

what is symbal name?

[@The302Kid]

SQ1!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronhayman8558]

They all sound good to me, but the comparison would be far more effective if all the kits were the same sizes with the same kind of heads.

[@calzaondrums]

Do anyone know what cymbal brand is he using?

[@javiernajar1457]

Agean cymbals. He has his own channel: digitaldrumming where he plays other kits too

[@ampdrum1]

I don't know man. I got an SQ1 kit with a Jost Nickel snare. EVERY TIME I play it I'm ispired, groovey and dare I say, sound like a dream of Marshmallows of Doom.

[@davidsuprenant2782]

Wish they would adapt the pro light series color choice to the sq1 series.need some new finish options sonor.

[@MrDreamthe]

lo primero que observo es diferencia de parches, por lo tanto no creo que se puede comparar. Pero me gustan todas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ollid.5590]

Prolite!!!!!!

[@michaelathlan]

voila le style de batterie que j aime !!!

[@adityarifqi5286]

used the same size tom 12

[@bornr2797]

Sq1 by far

[@pedrolsantiagosr5092]

Dude you switch to acoutisc:)

[@davegarciaofficial]

Vintage by a looooooong mile

[@dilankarun9172]

I really liked the SQ1's . Too bad Sonor drums are super expensive here in the US (compared to DW, Ludwig, Tama etc). Superbly played though. Great demo. Thanks

[@rhythmista7707]

Vintage series most versatile..

[@danielschneider8469]

Sq1 🤩👍🏻

[@ScottHunterBooks]

Pity the toms are all different sizes but I like the Prolite and SQ1

[@vitalismunchen5740]

are there maybe tune bot settings,you can share?

[@tmaddrummer]

I think I'll pick the Sonor........

[@digitaldrumming]

😁

[@tmaddrummer]

@@digitaldrumming that’s just me….

[@stevekimball7697]

Vintage Series wins!!

[@rhythmista7707]

For warmth and punch = Vintage For sheer power and resonance = Prolite For fat, round, modern sounds = SQ1

[@batouttahell454]

Sonor seems to have the BEST colors out of all thee other Companies! Tom's do not sound special however

[@drumguyben7509]

Coulda used a little cowbell.

[@digitaldrumming]

Absolutely, I'll try to remember for the next shootings... 😁

[@batwithglasses]

It would have been more accurate if each kit had the same sizes, configuration and heads...

[@digitaldrumming]

Yes, but it would have been less entertaining also 😜 just joking... This video basically is mashed up footage from the sessions I had shot for the three kits, including solo sound demos and "in the mix" music performances (to be found on the Sonor YT channel). You are right, it's not the same sizes / tunings etc. The kit configurations were rather chosen to suit specific musical situations / genres, but nonetheless we thought it might be nice & helpful to hear those kits side by side in a compilation / mash up video too 🙃 Kind regards!

[@batwithglasses]

@@digitaldrumming No harm no foul!...That was pre morning coffee comment ;-)..at the end of the day, Sonor still makes the best drums on the planet👍 And I'm a sucker for that Vintage sound, round over edges all the way!

[@digitaldrumming]

@@batwithglasses Haha, no problem!
