This was a presentation for
Sonor Lite in January 1983 I did together
with Alphone Mouzon (Mc Coy Tyner, Weather Report, Eleventh House, etc.) in
Berlin, Germany at the Jazz Club
Quasimodo.
We played endless
4´s and 8´s there, and answered lots of questions from the drum audience.
Alphonse played incredible, of course, and was a really nice guy! He is very missed!
That 5 piece scandinavian birch
Sonor Lite I played SANG beautifully,
soundwise my favorite line of Sonor of all the ones I played!
About your question, I had somewhere between 7-8 Sonor Drum Sets: Phonic, Lite and HiLite. I like them all but,
soundwise Lite and
from the look HiLite Exclusive are my favorite!
At the main Jazz club in Munich,
"Unterfahrt, they have a
Lite Set (Black) that sounds incredible, and has been played by most of the greatest drummers on Earth.
If that drumset could speak could tell you some really nice stories!
Good luck with your babies!
