What We Think

Sonor Delite series drums are rarely seen here, but they are easily one of our favorite sets. They are about as close as you can come to acoustic perfection and the gorgeous birdseye veneer is just icing on the cake. This is a Stage 1 set which is here on consignment and is in excellent condition. The Stage 1 configuration has the larger drums making this perfect for rock or studio work.

The core of the Delite series is a spectrum of tone provided by their thin Vintage Maple shells with reinforcement rings. These provide an unmistakably open sound and an enormously wide tuning range for practically all styles of music. 

Sonor’s Vintage Maple shell creates a warm tone that highlights the lower pitches and provides balance in the mid-range and treble, without sacrificing projection and power. 

While the Sonor Delite series has been discontinued since 2013, the sound is as classic and timeless as ever.

Manufacturer's Description from Sonor
