Feature:
Can't complain, came with everything it was supposed to (plus a few extra tuning keys, thanks to my friend at the shop :).

Quality:
Great, solid hardware. Taken it on the road many times, and it's held up fantastically. The quality of the wood blew me away - the wax finish is stunning.

Value:
This kit is comparable to many that are upwards of $1500 in terms of sound and quality.

Desirability:
Personally, I can't stand tacky, shiny paint finishes. The natural, red-to-brown fade on the kit stunned me when I first saw it.

Sound:
Excellent sound, right from the get-go. Nice, warm sound, no matter how you tune it. I only have two complaints - the stock heads that come with the kit sound very plastic-y, but it's not like I didn't expect that, and it's not a big fix. The other is that the snare drum is *very* ringy - however, with a $2 E-Ring thrown on it it sounds lovely.

Ease of Use:
Not a whole lot to say here. The tom mounts are great - you can basically have the toms anywhere you want, and with that ball-type mount it's very easy and solid to do so. The only thing that comes to mind is the wooden hoop on the resonance end of the kick - an absolute pain to get back on once you've gotten it off.

Support:
Never had problems, likely never will, what can I say.

Overall:
This kit is going to last me a very, very long time - and after I'm done with it, I see no need to look anywhere other than farther up the Sonor line.

Quality:
the best i have ever played

Value:
totaly worth every penny

Desirability:
very clean and smooth. I personaly have the soft black force 2001 and all my friends and family coment on how good it looks and how i got the best deal on the perfect drum set. it is also very durable and wont lose its sound over time like all the other imposters

Sound:
The base drum has an extremely powerful boom (nice and thick). the toms are perfectly tuned. but the snare is a little bit ringy but still worth it.

Support:
no i havnt dealt with them but evreyone can always b nicer

Overall:
at least 7 years. if the shell crackes in half. and yes i wiil play it until that hapends. i chose a sonor force 2001 because i have herd spectacular things from sonor and i tried 1 out and it was every thing i expected and much more.
