Advantages: Great sound!

Disadvantages: No hoop upgrades for metalheads!

Sonor 2005 all birch set sounds great but would stay in tune better with heavier hoops. The 10" tom has got 5 tuning lugs and the floor toms 14" and 16" 6 tuning lugs. The aftermarket triple flanged 2,3 mm steelhoops "PowerHoops" have minimum 6 holes for toms and 8 for floor toms. The upgrade for heavier hoops for Sonor 2005 owners is virtually impossible. The basic difference between Sonor 2005 and 3005 is the choice between birch and maple but the Sonor 3005 owners have also the possibility to upgrade for heavier hoops! Jazz players have a choice in 2005 range because Gibraltar makes 10" 5 hole? powerhoops and a 14" 6 hole hoop but not 16" 6 hole for us wanting more power.

Summary: There seems not to be an aftermarket powerhoop upgrade for Sonor 2005 line.
