Way to go there Vibes, nice arrival at your place! Look'n good with those flat bottoms stands too. Does the kick come with or need a riser? Looks like fun.

It came with a thick chromed riser.
Fits under the batter side. It's nice. a couple centimeters to thick.
Only problem is some vintage pedals won' fit. no speed king, umm ??
The 16" bass drum sounds really good. This is a nice set.
I am going to play on it like the cadbury gorilla and see if it holds up.
I know it will. This set is like the smaller kid in school who is tough and everyone respects.

Thats a sweet little kit. Wouldn't cause too many hassles taking that around to gigs n whatnot.

At first glance I was wondering why you called it the little Sonor. I thought the bass looked kind of small compared to the snare and then after reading the thread and measurements then it all made sense. Nice little kit
Those bass drum style hoops are a nice touch. It look like a bass drum and not a floor tom turned to its side.
Kit: Pacific LX 8-Ply - Maple shells in deep blue lacquer * DDrum 13 X 6.5" Golf Ball Snare
Cymbals: 21" AAX Raw Bell Dry Ride * 20" Paragon Crash * Zildjian 20" Custom Ozone Crash * 18" XS20 Medium Thin Crash * 14" AAX-Celerator Hi-Hats * 10" AAX Splash
Misc: Vater 2-4-5-1 Hickory Sticks * DW 7000 Pedal * Evans Heads * SP Cymbal Stands * PDP 900 Hi-Hat and Snare Stand * Gibralter Throne
That is excellent customer service. I'm glad to see they are taking very good care of the situation.
Sonor "live" Great Company. Great Drums. Great service. They sent me another set.

this is one of my favorite sets
My Sonor Safari with some up grades I added, like black maple BD hoops and Sonor tom suspension mount and I use a maple 13X7 piano black Sonor blk. mamba snare with a Trick snare throw and a S-hoop! lol.DSC01886.jpgDSC02044.jpg
I liked my Safari kit so much I figured if they sounded that good what would a better quality Sonor kit sound like��!! Never really thought of Sonor before. At 69 years young, purchased the first new kit I’ve ever had!! A Sonor Vintage Black Slate!! Sizes: 20, 10, 12, 14 and 14 x 6.5 snare. Absolutely love and have found my dream kit!!
Probably will try and sell the Safari kit. I also have a Tama Superstar Custom kit also for sale. I my age one good set is all I need!!
I see this thread as updated but don't see the updated post. Veddy intellestink.
