Therefore, sonic and technological perfection were considered equally important, both for SONORLITE and SONOR Signature. Yet, the use of a significantly thinner and lighter shell with an equally strong shell construction in addition to slightly shallower drum depths granted SONORLITE far superior practicality compared to the heavy SONOR Signatures. Thus, it became the ultimate premium drum set for the working musician of its time. The original SONORLITE used two different shell constructions. Bass drums and snare drums used a 12-ply (7mm) shell, whereas toms and floor toms used a 9-ply (6mm) construction. All shells were made from selected Finnish birch which was used because of its similar mechanical qualities compared to German beech, however at a much lower weight. The result was a mechanically strong and light shell that allowed for unobstructed drum head vibration, resulting in a pure, full and open tone with lots of resonance. The 150th Anniversary SONORLITE Shell Sets are more than just a reissue of the original from the 1980s. They are a tribute which merge tradition and innovation by combining a replica of the SONORLITE shell with contemporary state-of-the-art shell hardware features. To faithfully recreate the iconic SONORLITE shell, 9 respectively 12 plies of selected Finnish birch veneer are cross-laminated. For the outer and inner ply of the shells, stunningly grained Scandinavian Birch (Betula alba) is used. Originally introduced with the SONORLITES, this veneer has remained one of the most iconic SONOR finishes to date. To emphasize the naturally grown beauty of the Scandinavian Birch veneer and in homage to the original, all shells are finished with clear semi gloss lacquer, which is applied in multiple lacquering and polishing stages by hand.All hardware on the drums is plated with Ruthenium to offset the blonde color of the veneer whilst alsoadding a luxurious touch to the understated elegance and simplicity of the original. Finally, all drums receive individually numbered commemorative badges to certify the uniqueness of each 150th Anniversary SONORLITE Shell Set. This listing is for the drum shell pack only. The cymbals & hardware in photos sold separately. Condition: This is a brand new kit in its original factory-sealed boxes. WE ARE AN AUTHORIZED SONOR DEALER AND HAVE MANY OTHER SONOR ITEMS IN STOCK!
