Oh, my bad jonnistix. I thought you were saying that all the drums would be separated. I just re-read your post, and noticed you were talking about the snare staying with the kit.:o

Mike, Things to consider about sonorlite, it`s a shell made of Scan. birch compressed. The 9 ply lite tom shell was 6mm thick and 50% lighter than other sonor 9ply, thicker shells. It`s all about the shell. The rest of the drum consisted of Phonic and/or Sig hardware. The BD and snare were 12 ply Scan. Birch compressed and 50% lighter than other 12 ply Sonor shells. The early 80`s came in Genuine Rosewood veneer finnish option, the later 80`s came with Rosewood finnish veneer option. Both had custom option for sizes and snare machanics. The strainer on the one in your photo don`t look Sonor to me but could be. The chance of a loose badge is slim and none !!

As far as price`n goes, find out if that is Genuine Rosewood veneer or the later Rosewood finnish veneer before you decide !! Lot`s of people didn`t like haveing to find out that difference.

Again Sonorlites` are all about 9 ply 6 mm shells. BD and snare will be 12 ply and all are 50% less weight than other of the same ply !! Phonic and Sig hardware !!

It does look like Sonor strainer to me. I have several Sonor snares that use that strainer.

I don`t recognize that one !! Thanks !!

Update...the sizes are the correct sizes for that model drumset...see original post for the updated depth sizes...

Any chance your friend would loose the BD and wait for a correct one ?

That`s what I would do, then open the biddibg war at thirty five !!

Nope, he's ready to sell now and to get out of Dodge...
