I like black kits too. My Sonor SQ1 is matte black and my Sonor Vintage Series are satin black stain. They look very classy, in my opinion. And most of my snares are black. But I think my next kit will be white sparkle.
The only new kit I ever bought was black. The choices were limited to Black, Wine red and i think white. Wine red is the worst color ever yet it still lives on.
I agree, mine are PearlsYamaha gets their wine red finishes right. Nobody else does.
Very nice Tama Star finish indeed. Is it new ? Transparent black was fashionable during the late 90's, early 2000's. IMO this is timeless.
Just curious, why did you sell it?One of the prettiest kits I've ever owned. Mapex Black Panther Black Widow.
Transparent Black Lacquer w/ Brushed Nickel hardware. I should have kept it.
Nice!View attachment 92409
Satin Black Metallic - I've had this one for about a year and had to show it off...
So even gloss black on Gadds Recording Customs look Exportish? I think the blacks are different. If I see wine red I think “Exports”.
I had just dropped a good chunk of money on my Prolites and the two kits were kind of redundant construction wise what with both being thin shell Maple. At the time it made sense to get back some of the dough I had put out for the Prolites. I don't regret it as I love my Prolites but I'm here to tell you that Black Widow kit was a REALLY NICE KIT! It's a shame they didn't expand that model with maybe some other finishes and/or sizes.Just curious, why did you sell it?
