    Default Confused on drum kit prices.

    Well after looking at the Sonor Safari kit on line I have decided I am going to buy it. But here is what I am confused on. You have two sonor safari drum kits. One color is sparkle red for $389.00 and the black sparkle grey is $479.00they are both the same just different colors. Can someone please explain to me what the difference in the two are?

    Keep drumming

    They probably have a boatload of red kits left and need to move them.
    Personally I prefer the Sonor bop in silver sparkle for $429.
    Best of both worlds.

    With 9 plys of poplar wood cross laminated it sounds like a solid good kit. Everybody goes with the darker grey so I think I will go with red sparkle.

    Sounds like a plan!
    My Premier kit I played for a hundred years, way back in the distant past, was red and looked great under the lights.

    You are not looking hard enough. I'm seeing the black galaxy sparkle for $389.00 on line. Just like mine.

    That's not uncommon for the big "box" stores. They order a large quantity and usually have to order an assortment of available colors to get the "big boy" discount. Then, the popular colors sell out first and they discount the remaining color(s) to get rid of them. It's a common situation in distribution sales.

    Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
