Pocket 5-Piece Drum Kit - White
 This product is no longer available.
Following the highly successful run of Safari sets last fall, Sonor listened to the players once again and
answer with an exciting new spin on portable gig alternative sets for 2011!

The new Sonor Special Edition: Pocket Set offers several upgrades and additional components from the
original Safari set, while maintaining an affordable price point, and without compromising on Sonors
respected value in quality, sound and design!

Sonor Canadas sales and product manager, Scott Atkins says: Last years Safari Set was a great hit in the fall, but we still got asked a lot about the possibility to add on drums. So in launching the Pocket Set for 2011, we have added a 12 tom to the set‐up, in addition to the ability to further add an 8 tom, and a few great
enhancements to the construction of the drums.

The toms & floor tom now share the same dimensions as the popular new Sonor S‐Drive configurations in the
Essential and Select Force lines. Upgrades include the change to wood bass drum hoops, which greatly enhance the punch and tone of Sonors Jungle‐size 16 x 16 bass drum. The lugs and fittings used are the new Force‐Style low‐mass lugs introduced on the new lines at the 2011 NAMM show. With many drummers now using 13 snare drums as a main snare, the Pocket Set now includes a 13 x 5 snare drum. Rounding out the package is the double‐tom mount system, (which can also accommodate a single tom and cymbal boom arm set‐up as well), legs for the 14 x 12 floor tom, and the Riser / Pedal‐Mount system from the Select Force Jungle Series. Although it's sold as a 5‐pc shell pack configuration, the Pocket Set is offered in two finishes from the new Smart Force series, meaning you can also add the 8 tom if you wish. Complete packages are also available by adding Sonors 100 Series lightweight single‐braced Hardware Sets to the Shell Pack, making the Pocket Set the ultimate alternative set for the gigging drummer, or considering the price point, a great start‐up package for any beginning player!

I bought this in January 2012. This kit sounds amazing for the price! I actually bought it when it was $499...at $399...its a steal. I personally find the white kit better looking than the black set that came out. The white kit has black hardware which looks super cool. This kit is really compact...easy to set up and tear down every night. I recently had this kit in the recording studio and it blew the engineer away. They told me that a DW kit worth 3 times as much didn't sound this good. It's just a nice tight sounding kit for the size. I did change the factory heads...because they didn't sound that great. On the kick, I used a 16" Aquarius Super Kick II head (which sounds amazing btw on this kick drum), and threw Evans G2's on the rest. I've been getting many compliments on this kit....and especially the snare drum. It's a 13"...but man it's tight and clean. With some tuning, lots of great tones come out of it. In closing, you can hopefully tell that this kit is really awesome for the price...Sonor did a great job with it...buy it in white!!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
