Erm - Henri & I say Noooooo!!!!! Sonor all the way between these choices, unless finish is your top priority. In every other respect, the Sonor is the superior instrument. The initial fascination with your new finish soon fades away. The sound of your drums however, endures.I'm sure a few others will also vote for Saturns...
Ok, I'll stay at home then. Playing my Sonor ;-)Go Saturns or Go Home.
My view also. My experience is very limited though. I agree that unfortunately, many Sonor finishes are so-so - but that's subjective.Erm - Henri & I say Noooooo!!!!!

My wife isn't too pricey either compared to the alternative, plus I get more bang for my buck! Doesn't mean I'm more inspired though. Depends what you like in a performance. You can always go for the better finish option, but ultimately, is it more satisfying?Thanks for the input. I think I have almost excluded the DW now, I just feel more strongly for the two others in comparison. I guess I will just have to find out what really is the most important factors for me. As said, I like both the sound of Prolites and Saturns, the Saturns might be a bit more on the deep, low-end side, which also is more tempting. I'm not going to say that looks is the main thing I go for when I buy drums, but when giving out big bucks for a kit, you should really like how it looks as well. I like Sonor lugs, hardware, style etc., just haven't really found my favorite finish in the Prolite series. Maybe I should save up a bit and go for an all custom SQ2 instead, at least then I can choose basically whatever finish I'd like... Food for thought.
However a Saturn kit is tempting as well, considering that I like the sound and looks of it, and I can get more drums for it whenever possible (not too pricey).
Prolites are at least 3400 on eBay and that's just for a little bop kit.. Saturns he can have a 6 or 7 piece for under 2k.
I mean come on lol
Where's that money going?
