Drum kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sonata Custom drum kit catalog is especially focused on portability. We all know how complex logistics can be for drummers, but now your options are more diverse than ever. From kits with limited tonal versatility but that fit in a luggage rack, to full-sized kits with standard features that fit entirely in a regular car trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact drum kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This drum kit can be stored in a simple carry-on suitcase. In fact, the suitcase itself is part of the kit! Many of us have gone to a jam session with our bandmates only to end up as spectators because there was no drum set. Now you can comfortably bring it yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sonata Custom compact drum kit includes a single hi-hat stand, to which a clamp for a crash-ride and another for a 10\u2033 snare are attached. The suitcase itself is used as the bass drum, and its wheels are locked with two wooden pieces, one of which serves to attach the bass drum pedal. As if that weren\u2019t enough, the kit also includes a 6\u2033 rototom mounted on a stand specifically designed to attach to the suitcase handle. The kit is completed with a practical telescopic drum stool.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At first, it might seem a bit intimidating to fit all the gear back into the suitcase, but don\u2019t worry. Detailed instructions are provided with the kit to guide you through the process. With a little practice, everything can be packed away in just a few minutes. It\u2019s worth mentioning that, despite the technical limitations, I\u2019ve chosen not to modify the suitcase in any way. This way, if it gets damaged during a trip or if you simply want to change its look, you can pack all the gear into any other standard carry-on suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nesting kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The drums are designed to fit inside each other, with all shells, except for the smallest one, made in two halves that can be reassembled using butterfly latches. This design allows you to transport the entire kit in the same space as the bass drum. By choosing the right sizes, even the snare drum can fit inside the bass drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create one of these kits, it\u2019s essential to carefully choose the right sizes so that everything fits perfectly. In the pre-configured kits available in the store, everything is already thought out, but at Sonata Custom, we focus on personalization. That\u2019s why I encourage you to create a custom kit tailored to your specific needs using the custom product form<\/a>. The customizable aspects of the kits include: number of tension rods per drumhead, diameters and depths, color, and finish. In the case of the toms, you can also choose the mounting system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, there are some rules to follow. For example, when choosing the diameters of the toms, you need to consider how they will be mounted in the kit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
