So I’m in an interesting predicament. For a while now I’ve been wanting to get a high end Sonor maple kit and after weighing up different options, I have settled on ordering a ProLite in Nussbaum finish (each drum would be costed individually). Now my ideal floor tom sizes would be 15x13” and 18x15” but those sizes are not available in the ProLite range. But then it suddenly occurred to me, why not just get those sizes as SQ2 vintage maple floor toms in the same finish instead?? In theory, the only thing that would distinguish them from the rest of the kit would be the logos. And it would only cost £125 more (the cheapest maple SQ2 kit would cost an extra £840).
But this got me thinking about the level of importance of the toms going together as a “set”. Getting the SQ2 rack toms would be a further £125 but part of me thinks it might be worth it? I don’t know really, I feel like this is something that is not talked about that often. I’m interested to see if anyone has any takes on this. Would it matter if the rack toms and floor toms are not made together as a set? Rack toms being ProLite and floor toms being SQ2. They'd be made in the same factory, the same construction, same material and same finish after all. Any input would be highly appreciated!!
