New Sonors on the way!

[fnord]

I just picked up a new 6-piece extra crispy natural birch Sonor shell
pack for $580(!), shipped.

That bunch, in the natural finish. 22x17.5, 5.5x14 wood snare, 10x8,
12x9, 13x10 and a 16x16.

It's gloss, not the satin/matte of my old Sonic Plus, but I'll deal. I
had to sell the Sonics to pick up my electronic kit, and finally like
10 years later, I have both. I never thought I'd get to play this sort
of thing again.....

Wow, those are all Birch. That's pretty great for a 2K series. They
seemed to have stepped it up a bit on the lower ends.

I just saw this... and I'm chompin at the bit, bro....

Yup, the same place has them here:

http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-SOO-FSP6S1-LIST?SRC=D0407FG0HAMS0000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed&

in 3 finishes. I was looking at the same one you are, but I wanted
more than a 4-piece.

SameDayMusic seems to have the same stock at the same prices:

http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--SOOF2007RK

http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--SOOFSP6S1

SameDayMusic won out though, because AmericanMusical charges a $25
"large package" shipping fee, so it was $25 less through SDM.

Free shipping too, from NJ, so it should be here in no time.

I wish someone had that nice dark blue they show in all the pics.

Unless it's drop-shipped from HSS.... but I think they're in Virginia,
so it shouldn't take much longer.
