The Sonor Force 3003 is a highly regarded mid-level drum kit produced in the early 2000s. Known for its professional-grade tone and durable hardware, it features a hybrid 9-ply shell construction (typically 6 plies of maple surrounding 3 plies of basswood). The 3003 series drums are constructed using the highly advanced Total Acoustic Resonance (T.A.R.) sound-enhancement system and 9-ply, cross-laminated, tension-free maple-basswood shells for fantastic projection and tone. Flashy sparkle finishes, pre-muffled Remo bass drumheads, 400 Series double-braced hardware, Turbo bass drums with extended shell dimensions and throw-off snare action are all standard equipment. Cymbals and stands are Not included.
It's a 5-piece kit with 22" x 17-1/2" bass; 12" x 10" and 13" x 11" toms; 16" x 16" floor tom, 5" x 14" snare.

Bought from probably the original owner, used myself about 5 times, 4 as a practice kit and once at a gig. Always a solid kit but I had 3 other newer kits at the time. Actually should be considered in the "Very Good" or Excellent Category but just in case there is something I didn't see I put it as "Good". It's in really good shape actually with some scuffs and stuff but mostly on stands/heads, the shells are in really great shape. I should mention it's been covered at a shop for the last 2 years and is not cleaned up in the pictures, so suggest it will need some light cleaning upon arrival to it's new home. Have never used the snare drum and it will need a new batter head, the other batter heads are lightly used and has an Evans Emad on the kick drum with a Kickport.
It sounded great and made me consider getting Sonor in the future. For the money it's probably better than anything you could find at similar price point. Looks great on stage!
