Ridiculous. If that were true everyone would be playing Pearl exports or yamaha stage customs.

TOO FUNNY !!! And completely OBVIOUS !!!

That’s an interesting point. I guess the way to take the player out of the equation is to drop a tennis ball on the drumhead, right?
As usual, nobody really here to help out the original poster. Plenty of tangential thread crapping though.

Seriously, how good is a written description of how a certain type of drums sounds? It's pretty subjective based on the impressions and vocabulary of the person making the description. It's no different than having people ask about the sound of various drum heads or cymbals - words only get you so far.As usual, nobody really here to help out the original poster.

Seriously though, what was he expecting to get? A person can listen to the same kit of drums and come away with totally different impressions due to their own opinions and how they perceive things and how the drums were set up, never mind who may have been playing the drums at the time, the context of where the drums were being heard, whether the kit was mic'ed up at the time, etc.I feel sorry for the OP asking a genuinely honest question amongst an august group of philosophers.
Truly a lesson in the old saying... "free advice is usually worth what you pay for it."
..Seriously though, what was he expecting to get?..
Apparently the sarcasm/joke in my post was missed - again, I submit, it's an impossible question to answer with anything other than what you've suggested - go find some and play them to make a firsthand assessment.Nothing, when the answers are that they sound like drums or "DDOOoooouuummm!", "KHUUUDD!" and "KRAAACKK!"..
Or to just go play, try and compare a few sets himself...
The issue isn't the answers, the issue is that it's an impossible question.

No it isn't. It's possible to lend some knowledge on the subject even if the question is somewhat vague. The problem with some of the answers is that they have nothing positive to share and border on ridicule.
Ain't that the truth. :rolls eyes:
Everyone knows about the Gretsch sound and if you've played a lot of Ludwig Drums you get to know their unique sound, but what about SONOR?
I was looking at getting a used Sonor Phonic Rosewood kit in standard sizes and I am wondering what they sound like? I checked out Youtube - not too much there. Steve Smith's SQ2 kit sounds really good. There are no shops in New Orleans that carry them & not many drummers play them down here. What I like in a drum sound is Big loud & resonates forever. I like to feel it vibrate my body.
Can anyone describe for me what the better Sonor drums sound like?
