Sonor and Coffee with Jules May 05, 2025 - 150th Anniversary vs SQ2: where's the better value?

We look at the virtues of the (very) Limited Edition 150th Anniversary shell sets and compare pricing to their SQ2 counterparts. Be sure to check out the Sonor Talk with Jerry Pentecost from Saturday. Lots of good information, and things that may surprise you about Nashville. Update on snare drums in WIP, recent sales and more!

Opinion: 150th Anniversary Shell Sets vs. SQ2s. What's the big deal with the limited edition drums?

With the marriage of the recreation of the Sonor Signature Shell, Sonorlite shell with Sonor's best engineered, most state of the art hardware ever; is there really a virtue to the limited edition drums over similar configurations you can build on the configurator? How much extra are you paying for the Anniversary models? Would the value of the Anniversary sets endure the test of time? Should you go ahead and buy one now?

Sonor Talk - Jerry Pentecost "The Hardest Working Man" Drummer/DJ/Doughnut Fanatic

Named "The Hardest Working Man" by Modern Drummer Magazine, Sonor Artist Jerry Pentecost is a full time drummer, DJ and seemingly whatever else he can squeeze in to his schedule while raising twin 4 year olds.Jerry discusses his love for Sonor drums and the high level of craftsmanship that led him to the brand, as well as the stellar support he gets from Jeff Mulvihill and Henry Go who represent Sonor at KHS America. Jerry discusses other aspects of his life and career and that at 40 years old he still considers himself at the top of his career, citing drummers still working well into their 70s and 80s. He has obviously found a welcoming home with Sonor and hopes to stay with the brand through the rest of his career.
