Here we have a rare opportunity to get a Sonor Lite Tom in Scandinavian Birch. These drums are becoming increasingly hard to find especially in good condition.

The Sonorlite Shell

The Sonorlite drum shell is unique in several respects. It is made from Scaninavian Birch, which is also used in the production of aircraft. Its ratio of strength to weight is particularly favorable to percussion, so that a Sonorlite shell can be nearly 50% lighter than comparable shells. Toms and floor tom shells are 9-ply and measure 6mms.

The Sonorlite Sound

Sonorlite drums produce a warm, rich and modern sound. The balanced sound volume is achieved by special shell sizes. Every Sonorlite shell is veneered inside with selected plies of high-quality Scandinavian Birch, giving them the final touch to the sound.

The Sonorlite Finish

The tom we have here is finished in Scandinavian Birch which can also be seen in the interior. Scandinavian Birch is a rarity from which Sonor produced only a limited quantity of Sonorlite drums. Today the finish is used as a veneer option for both the outer and interiors of the Sonor SQ2 range - an option that commands a premium price!
