Hi guys..
been wanting this gem and finally had a chance to snag it at a fairly cheap price.
Sonor One Of A Kind 14x6,5 - Macassar Ebony finish. Beech 8mm shell. oversized cast hoops (!!), dual glide strainer system.
Have not tried playing it, gonna do that this weekend.
The quality is top notch..every single component is made to perfection. Came with a cool "welcome pack" and special hardcase.
Here are the pics!
very nice! up load some sounds!
Oh MY!! WOW gorgeous.. Congrats

Don't sit it on concrete! You might scratch the finish! Think velvet pads!
Seriously, great snare....I want it.

Michael...WOW!!!! What a snare! Tone report required.
What spectacular packaging, in addition to the gorgeous drum itself! I can only imagine what an entire Sonor SQ2 kit in that wood would run!
Now, just a tiny bit less than an absolute drum newbie

I've always wondered what people do when they take pictures of their very expensive instruments and put them on concrete/asphalt/snow, etc. The pictures are almost always amazing, the contrast between the beautiful instruments and the harsh elements. I'd like to think that there are tiny bits of cushioning of some sort that just aren't seen in the pictures...
PS, no slam intended at the original poster of this thread

I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
I know it appears to be a hazardous way to treat an expensive piece of equipment, but simply sitting something on concrete, rocks, whatever, will not cause harm unless the priceless object is dropped, or slid across, said surfaces. It's not the contact that causes harm, it's the abrasion. You can be sure that this drum was not harmed in any way in the making of these photos.

Oh... my.... G-d......
That is beautiful! It should almost be in a glass case with lights.
thread reported for porn... cause that is the sexiest thing I have seen in a long time!!!
wow you are a lucky lucky man!!!
I still be "fairly cheap" was no where near cheap to most people haha
That's awesome. I don't think I could bring myself to play it. It is too pretty!
thanks! there are some videos on this beauty already up in youtube, dude
yes! Thank you!
Thanks heaps guys and thanks also for the thoughts and suggestion I really appreciate it.
I have been using this 'concrete stand' for quite a few years, and yes, there has been no single component ever damaged, as I put the babies very gently and do not move them around except for vertical/horizontal pose. Its me who move around to get the pic from different angles. Surprisingly, this is the single first thread that I got commented on this concrete :D Thanks again for the thoughts!
They did make the whole kit with Macassar Ebony finish search "Sonor 5 stars kit" Thanks a lot
haha cheers!
Thank you!
You might be right, but the sound is just so pleasing..I would rather having it played more. Thanks
Indeed man Thanks a lot
I got this for 950USD BNIB. I looked to ebay and most of em listed this down for 1499USD. So, thats quite a steal Thank you very much!
haha..sometimes I think like that, but once I hit them once, I cant stop exploring! Thank you!
Did you get in touch with Sonor to be able to get #1 of 80? and do the oversized hoops make it hard to fit in the basket?

Does no one see past the bling and notice the oxymoron here. "One of a Kind"and right below," 1 of 80? "
Back page of Consumer Reports, they love stuff like that.

Beautiful.................congrats.
What makes it "one-of-a-kind" ?
What do they mean by "oversized cast hoops" ?

I'm sure that's the first thought that entered into everybody's mind. Maybe the intention is that this is "one" of a "kind" of drum? Nah. It's just pure, brazen, hyperbolic marketing. And I love it. I'll agree to "wink, wink, nod, nod" on this one simply because it's such a lovely piece of engineering art. And we all have the pleasure to see pictures of "one" of that "kind" of drum!
