Beautiful drums its a shame they didn't have the sonor badges on the front of the toms what were they thinking.

 

[Skyrm]

Man, what a beautiful set of drums. Those are what i was considering back in 1980. I don't need a time machine, I just need $4.000.

I wonder what a new Sonor kit with all those drums would cost? At least twice that much.

I reckon an SQ2 in those sizes would cost around $15K or so.

Whooo, you splitted it in two kits and two drummers, awesome!!!

 

[Skyrm]

So $4K is real deal!!

 

[Steech]

I have the money, the space, and the desire to buy them. Now then, the only problem is the 6000 mile round trip from Boston...
