Re: Sonor Force 3003 vs AQ2
Always tough, I used to live next to dcp and I could go in and play any kit that was available and hear them in person. That can be great but can also be expensive as I ended up buying and selling a lot of kits, snares, and cymbals. I was starting to approach Bish level but my wife put the kibash on that. Usually, if you can find a few used ones near you on cl or marketplace most people will usually let you try them out before you buy. Sonor is top-notch, never had an issue with any I ever had, and of all the kits I had and sold the one I wish I never sold was a Sonor special edition Beech kit. I think I have the review somewhere on this site.
Re: Sonor Force 3003 vs AQ2
Thanks MDK. Still looking around and working on the budget... I'm also looking at DW Performance Series. Could be somewhat in the price range and seems like really high quality stuff from DW. I've been using their pedals and HW for years. Might have played the perf series sets in guitar center years ago and sounded excellent but never thought I could afford one...seems competitive looking at more pro quality sets.
Re: Sonor Force 3003 vs AQ2
I have been contemplating selling my DW Performance series kit since I'm no longer gigging. If you have any interest, let me know and we can talk about it. For me the Performance series sounded better than my Collectors and I ended up buying my 2nd Performance series kit due to the sound/finish quality. Now they are just sitting in cases wanting to be heard. lol
