Acording to Sonor is the Signature Series Special Edition for Chester Thompson a 1 of 1 kit. Sonor made only a few Signature Special Edition Sets. They are very rare. A 14 x 8 Snare reach up to 6000 US$. It is the only one kit which was made from 8“ till 18“ with PureCussion Rims (No Mount NM). The Drumset is a step beyond the original Signature Series. The Sonor Special Edition (SSE) has 12-ply maple shells and African Bubinga wood exterior finished in a high-gloss lacquer. Chester ́s kit has inside Canadian maple. All other Special Editions Sets were made mostly with Italian maple. Comparing to a regular Sonor Signature has the ply beech wood with Bubinga and without a high gloss Lacquer.
Also the Sonor Signature Special Edition metal parts are isolated from the shell using Sonor’s unique “APS” Advanced Projection System which Sonor transferred from HiLite to the SSE. Toms and floor toms are equipped with seamless Megahoops.
