You guys will laugh, I told my wife I bought them for our Son... who isn't born yet!!!
Really I wanted something that was older and I was comfortable taking out of the house... I have a Ludwig Classic maple kit I special ordered some years ago, and that being my only drum kit, I'm shy to take it around. And I am NOT BUYING ANY MORE LUAN CHEAPIE DRUMS!! Reality was, I wasn't looking for these specifically... or Sonor at all. Just something that meets the config that I like. and here they were. I'm quite fond of this set.
This set screams "Rock Power" with the big drums, it sounds great, and the heavy duty build makes me more comfortable transporting. The finish not being glossy is less likely to show wear.. The perfect road set!!
"Road".. ha ha. I play gigs as far as 20 miles from home.
