All user reviews of 5/5 for the Sonor Force 3003

I use a Sonor Force 3003 Fusion configuration (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 22) for a little over a year now and I must say that there are many positive aspects to the drumkit beginning with the sound.

Indeed, you are playing jazz, rock, funk, etc.. ... Just find the right setting and go! I started with Remo Pinstripe on toms and bass drum on Powerstrock. The result is a warm, deep, powerful but not totally devoid of substain. On the bass drum, dull and explosive! I recently decided to mount Evans G2 Coated skins on the toms and side affects Evans Resonant Glass side resonance. And many of my friends (s), I took a slap. I can tell you that in this configuration, the drum major rivals. The sound is warm and round with lots of projection. The guard is useless. In short, it's killing!
Clarification, it is certain that the suspension system TAR drums (Tom Mounting System) has its share of merit in the sound quality.

Then there is the quality of design. Certainly the Force series batteries are not manufactured in Germany and so is either to big sisters (S Class, Delite, Designer). However, in terms of 3003, the quality is by appointment. Mine is Red Maple lacquer finish. Ahhh ... what beautiful veins of the maple in the varnish. The chamfers are perfect on all barrels. You it is necessary to tell you about the hardware? Well not to depart from the rule is of German design and is very solid. The mounting system is drums through nylon ball is really handy and robustness flawless. FYI, I chose a 16-inch tom suspended and it does not move.

Finally, at the time when I bought this drumkit, I had no a priori or preferably on a particular brand. I had already played on several models such as SwingStar Tama, Pearl Export, and even Remo but I can not remember the exact model. And well trying the Sonor, I fell in heart.

To answer the last question, if I have to separate myself from this drumkit in favor of another model, it is certain that it will be a Sonor.

I bought this drumkit in July, only 700 euros Musicstore and frankly it was worth its euro ..!!!!!!!!!! (10 ", 12", 14 ", 22" Snare 14 "x5")
Before, I used a DEEP, sub-brand of PEARL.
Although made in China, the sound is very well finished, the sound is rich, powerful, and nickel finish.
mine is "white sparkle" (sparkling white), it is really beautiful in the projos. I've added a pack of cymbals Zildjian ZBT Pro (20 "16" and 14 Charley ") plus one Sabian AAX crash 14". The set is really satisfying to just over 1000 Euros.
Only proposed change, that of the bass drum pedal, pretty basic for a SONOR Giant Step, a DW 5000 or Tama Iron Cobra, I still hesitate.
