Forum Rules & Code of Conduct
Quick Code of Conduct
Be Accurate
Verify claims about Sonor, its products, or practices before posting. Do not present unverified information as fact.
Be Respectful

Stay On-Topic
This forum exists to support and discuss Sonor drums, with a focus on current production models.
Be Culturally Respectful
This is an international community. Comments that are sexist, discriminatory, or culturally insensitive are not permitted—even if they may seem acceptable elsewhere. When in doubt, choose professionalism.
Marketplace Awareness
Sales are allowed, but DRUMANDSTAGE is not responsible for transactions. Use private contact methods and maintain your own records.
Follow Moderator Guidance
Membership is a privilege. Moderators may restrict or remove accounts at their discretion to maintain standards.
Full Forum Rules
Purpose
The DRUMANDSTAGE Forum exists to promote, discuss, and support the Sonor brand and its products, with a primary focus on current production drums.
Participation here is a privilege—not a right—and is contingent upon adherence to these rules.
1. Accuracy and Fairness in Commentary
Honest, experience-based feedback is welcome, including legitimate concerns or defects.
Statements about Sonor, its products, or manufacturing practices must be based on verifiable information when presented as fact.
Avoid exaggeration, unverified claims, sweeping generalizations, or accusatory language.
2. Respectful Conduct
Treat all members with respect.
Personal attacks, harassment, or persistent negativity will not be tolerated.
Sexist, discriminatory, or culturally insensitive remarks are prohibited.
Repeated posting of the same grievance across multiple threads may result in posting restrictions or removal.
3. Marketplace Rules
The forum is not a transaction platform.
You may list items for sale, but:
Provide direct contact information or move communication off-platform.
Keep your own records (texts, emails, etc.).
Do not rely solely on forum private messages for documentation.
DRUMANDSTAGE does not verify listings, sellers, or buyers.
All transactions are conducted at your own risk.
4. Political Discussions
General political discussion is not permitted.
Exceptions apply only when political or governmental actions directly impact Sonor products (e.g., manufacturing, distribution, pricing).
Discussion must remain strictly focused on those impacts.
Threads that drift into broader political debate will be removed.
5. Moderation and Enforcement
This is a privately operated forum with a defined purpose.
Moderators reserve full authority to manage content and membership.
Violations may result in post removal, restricted access, or termination of membership.
Rules may be updated at any time to protect the integrity of the community.
Community Intent
DRUMANDSTAGE is built for all drummers—current members and future ones. Whether you're a long-time Sonor player or just discovering the brand, you should feel welcome, respected, and comfortable participating here.
