Amazing how these modern small drum kits sound! A few years ago I picked up a Sonor 'Bop' kit to use in venues with limited space and for a practice kit. The 'Bop' kit has larger drum sizes (14" snare, 8 x 12" rack tom, 14" floor tom, 18" bass drum) I shied away from smaller drum sizes because I need the versatility of larger drum sizes but yet the portability of a smaller drum kit. It works well for a variety of musical settings and the price was quite reasonable for the quality.

In 1997 I used a 16x16 Sonor floor tom (maple, series unknown) kick while recording with the Smooth Hounds debut album “ No wake in basin “, myself the engineer and everyone agreed in every way that 16in kick sounded incredible. These smaller kicks are so versatile. I’m glad the Sonor jungle kit finally is getting the recognition it deserves.

It’s a good kit, I’ve got the black. Hardware is great, setup is very nice. The biggest issue: heads fit VERY tight on the drums. I mean tight. Evans heads generally fit ‘loosest’ ime, and even they were tight. No spin, they go on like a bottlecap. At lower tunings, I got some weird tones because the heads don’t want to seat. Higher tunings cleared up the issue. It seems they didn’t factor in the wrap and the total circumference ended up a bit large. I may end up cutting the wrap to try and fix it. Otherwise, fit/finish is good for the price.

That 14" inch kick seems too small for anything and can't really find heads or bags for them. I wish I would've gotten the jungle. Maybe I'll change my mind once I get to play with it more. I should've gone and compared them at stores first.

Thanks for the excellent review. I researched the compact kits from all the major manufacturers - SONOR, Ludwig, Tama, Pearl - even the super-pricey ones (Gretsch!). I bought this kit a couple months with TAMA hardware and Zildjian "i series" cymbals. It sounds great, and the rest of the band thought so, too; our sound guy used a mic on it, but didn't have to add much. I found a Stage Custom 12" tom on Facebook Marketplace for $40 and bought a concert snare stand and will add it in if necessary. I can now carry it all from the car in three trips. I loved my Yamaha Stage Custom but this is so much easier to lug around - I'm too old to do that without a roadie! Highly recommended.

Cute kit. Your definition of high versus low tuning for the Tom‘s and the kick drum leave quite a bit to be desired. My pearl export kit from the 1980s when used in a four piece set up is always a 10 inch rack Tom, and a 13 inch mounted floor Tom. I can get a lot higher pitch and spread of frequency. Pitch range on my kitten wet you chose in this video. You could’ve easily tuned up the Tom’s much higher pitch, and still sounded great and musical.

Develop YOUR sound! Explore tunings, explore cymbals, even explore stick types. It takes more than a year to really dial it in. My first year I was playing I didn’t know yet what MY thing was. I started on a big kit with a lot of cymbals playing rock/pop stuff. Many years later I have MY own sound - 12/14/18 with one big ride, one big crash, and big (15”) hats. I use Calftone heads, no port on bass. I use Istanbul Agop cymbals. I play much more jazzy/funky stuff, rarely rock. My kit has a unique sound and it’s ideal for ME. You’ll get there. With drums, the journey to your sound takes time. You may start off by emulating favorite drummers, but eventually you will have your own ideas about what sounds good. Go with it. Don’t be flashy or try to show off chops, let it be natural. Develop your pocket, and the rest will come. Learn to TUNE well, tune tune tune. So many drummers are lost when it comes to tuning, it’s essential. Try different heads and a million tunings. It will happen!

If somebody tries to market me something just becos its SMALLER, i wont buy it, cos its disgusting then. But this kind of sweaty hiphop and house-friendly jungle kit for jazzy dnb needs to have two snares, and you need to include in the review the proprietary sonor jungle snare that is around half as thick as regular snare, and had tambourine rattlers. If you want to save space, you throw the laptop outta the window and use ipad for arranging samples, and you throw out the beer case to save space in head and belly for more xo cognac.
