I just checked out pdplayers set and now I'm embarrassed. Nice set man! Maybe I should just put my tail between my legs and head on home

As promised, here you go. My new (used) Sonor S-Class complete. I'm using the refurbished chrome as my primary snare and awaiting a snare stand for the one that came with the set - it will be my secondary. Two completely different sounds. Man, this set sounds absolutely tremendous. Booming bass, nice rich tom sounds. Hey, I'm also auditioning for a band tomorrow!

Another AWESOME drum kit! Nice Stix!
And a big GOOD LUCK for tomorrow!
Thanks Drum Chick, I'll let you all know how I make out. And thanks for the compliment re. the set although, like I said, PDP has a truly awesome kit.

Absolutely! Clue me in! Never worked with this type of Tom rig before. My last Sonor kit had the ball action and was very, very easy for placement. This mounting system has to work on two axis and it's tough to find the right set (although I do have all the mem locks so once I finally get it, it will be great!) Thanks PDP - could use your expertise!

sweet man looks awesome..enjoy it!!
Can you tell me what kind of finish I have? I have the one in the back round
on the third picture
Stay in this forum Roxy and you'll learn A LOT! There's a bunch of great drummers with a wealth of knowledge in here. Keep asking questions and in no time you will be on your way to becoming a great drummer........
Im loving that finish
But as PDPlayer said, your tom placement is really weird to me, it could just be your cup of tea, but i think me and PDP are both talking about the spacing between your toms, theres a big gap, if i were you
I would turn the things forward, and angle the toms down, so there close together, and closer to your snare, easier to roll down, and to go from one to another, thats what i think at least, but if thats how you play, then by all means, dont take any of that advice
Goodluck with that kit!
Sorry Pdp, didn't get your PM but I've taken the above advice and sort of brought the center into more of a V shape which brought the toms much closer together and then angled them down so thank you and CH33 for your excellent advice!
Roxy: That set in the background is actually my very first set that I got around 1969... I believe it is a Royce 6 piece that was originally gold sparkle. It has a vintage Slingerland hat stand and an original Ludwig Speed King BD pedal with the internal screws. About 25 years ago, after getting all banged up through playing out, moving, storage, etc., I decided to give it a new look and stripped the shells then used a white laquer spray paint, Highlited it with black electrical tape and took off the bottom heads (it was the thing to do at the time). Actually, the recently rehabed Sonor Snare was what was with that set (yeah, I know, doesn't make sense). I recently bought them a CB700 beginners snare and it is with that kit, I rehabed the Sonor snare and that is now with mine. Now the old beater set is what my three sons bang around on and they're as happy as clams.
Thanks for all your good wishes regarding tomorrow. I'll be on tomorrow nite to let you know how I made out.

while the setup is a little iffy, there is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to sonor s class shells. they are some of the best made and best sounding shells on the market. you cant do much better than those.

Is that a paint chip or a chip off a ply?

Hey Stix, it may be used, but it's beautiful! Congrats on the new kit! With your experience, I'm sure those drums will sing! It's nice to have you around here.

SteveO: Actually, in the pix there's a reflection of the overhead flourescent light and a reflection of the cymbal stand - no chip there. There are a few minor chips where either a stand or the drum rubbed against the shell not deep gouges tho. I touched them up with a Cherry Maple Furniture Marker and, unless you look close, you can't tell the difference.
