Well, I probably should have run this idea by Jim but hes not on. If he doesn't like this then we will shut the thread down. I thought all of us Sonor owners/fans could discuss the drums here and help potential Sonor buyers with thier purchases.

Everyone post up pics (try to just do 2 pics so we don't spam it up too bad) and more importantly sound files so people can hear how they sound. I'll post up some comparisons of the Sonor Delites and 3005's soon.

ANYWAY, to kick it off, a little birdie tells me that a certain moderator from the land down under may be getting some Sonor Drum Designs!! Talk about lucky!
