The Three22 California is a seriously well-made kit – Sonor's CLTF beech shells really deliver a warm, vintage vibe without being muddy.

Frequently Asked Questions

CLTF minimizes internal stresses, resulting in a more even response across the shell and a slightly more focused tone compared to older Sonor designs.
The prism clamp tom mounts are very stable and allow for a wide range of tom angles and positions – crucial for tailoring the kit’s sound and feel.
I’d suggest matching, high-quality hardware with a vintage aesthetic to maintain the kit’s overall look and feel; consider double-braced stands for stability.
