NAMM 2014: Sonor had plenty to show at this year's NAMM, one-off drums, tiny kits and gorgeous finishes included!

And how about this for a finish? This is the Sonor Nebula. This limited edition SQ2 kit features a beautiful (if somewhat trippy) custom finish. The finish is actually a human render of a digital image sent from the Hubble telescope!

It really is true that great things come in small sizes. Well, at least Sonor must think so, judging by this diddy Martini kit.
