@@musicessences As a 25 year Gretsch die hard I bought a 6 piece prolite used mint to sell for more but then I played it once and man was I blown away! My bandmates in several bands said they were the best drums they have ever heard and they are older guys. I love them so easy to play, tune and man do they cut with fatness and warmth and a soft feel to them, I love them! I can’t forget the kick is the most powerful thing I have ever heard and the snare is unmatched and I have been going at it extremely seriously for 40 years.

I own a Prolite double bass set. Love the sound of the thin maple shells. Was thinking of buying a SQ2 set of maples and my buddy who owns a drum store told me that the Prolite shell and the vintage SQ2 maple shell are identical. Saved some money and totally happy with my purchase. Been playing Sonor exclusively since 80s. My favorites have been Phonic beech shells and Sonor lite birch. But at this point in my life the Prolite's give me the sound my old ears crave. Enjoyed the video. Stay safe.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Sonor drums! It's great to hear from someone with such a long history with the brand. Your insights are valuable, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your experience with the Prolite double bass set is fascinating. The thin maple shells of the Prolite series are indeed known for their excellent sound quality. It's interesting that your drum store buddy mentioned the similarity between the Prolite shell and the vintage SQ2 maple shell. This kind of insider knowledge can be incredibly helpful when making purchasing decisions. Your journey through different Sonor models over the years is impressive: 1. Phonic beech shells: Known for their warm, full-bodied sound. 2. Sonor Lite birch: Appreciated for their bright, punchy tone. 3. Prolite maple: Offering a balanced, versatile sound that you've come to prefer. It's great that you've found a kit that gives you the sound you're looking for at this point in your drumming journey. The Prolite series is well-regarded for its quality and tone, so it's no surprise that it satisfies your experienced ears. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion. Your long-term experience with Sonor drums adds valuable perspective. Stay safe and keep enjoying your Prolites! 🥁

@Music Essences Are you going to make a full video of Dixon Drums too? They are amazing Drums and have a rich history of making drum and also many drum parts for other big brands too. So rightfully a full video called "Best DIXON Drum Sets Ultimate Buying Guide" should be made too. 😊 ✌🏼

The sound of the UFIP cymbals are incredible. ❤

[@musicessences]

Thank you for sharing your love for UFIP cymbals! You're absolutely right; their sound is indeed incredible. ❤️ UFIP (Unione Fabbricanti Italiani Piatti) cymbals are known for their unique manufacturing process and distinctive sound qualities. Here are a few points that make them stand out: 1. Rotocasting Process: UFIP uses a unique rotational casting method, which creates a more homogeneous metal structure, contributing to their balanced sound. 2. Hand-Crafted: After casting, UFIP artisans hand-shape and hammer each cymbal, ensuring a high level of quality control. 3. Variety of Series: UFIP offers several series to cater to different playing styles. For example, the Est. 1931 Series is known for its dry, smooth, and warm traditional sound, while the Natural Series offers darker, richer tones. 4. Versatility: Many UFIP cymbals are praised for their versatility across different musical genres. 5. Unique Characteristics: Depending on the series, UFIP cymbals can offer everything from dark, warm tones to bright, cutting sounds. It's great to hear from a fellow drummer who appreciates the quality of these cymbals. If you have any favorite UFIP models or experiences you'd like to share, feel free to do so!

SQ1! The best drums...

[@musicessences]

Thank you for your enthusiasm about the SQ1 drums! 🎉 They truly are exceptional instruments, known for their high-quality sound and construction.

If you're interested in learning more about their features or comparing them with other drum kits, let me know! Your support and insights are greatly appreciated! 😊

SQ2 Maple sounds the best for me.

Nicko now plays British drum co .. could've mentioned Phil Rudd from AC/DC instead

[@musicessences]

Thank you for your input! You're right; Nicko McBrain's transition to the British Drum Co. is notable, and mentioning Phil Rudd from AC/DC would have added another interesting perspective. Both drummers have made significant contributions to rock music and have unique styles. I'll keep this in mind for future discussions! If you have any other suggestions or topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to share! 😊
