Vintage Series Black Slate
With Sonor's 140th anniversary in 2015 the company brought back the iconic sound and look of the 1950's and early 1970's with the NAMM Best in Show winning Vintage drum series. Last year, Sonor added the Classic Red Oyster wrap to this original Teardrop Series, and now the German drum builders have added the Vintage Series Black Slate finish to go with these beautiful drums.

The Vintage Sonor Teardrop
Special is the recreation of the Teardrop lugs, to have that look and feel of the 1950's. Added to these lugs is Sonor's Tunesafe system to give its necessary and modern application. Also, Sonor introduced the 45 degree bearing edge in 1975, but these drums have the original rounded bearing edges as used on the true vintage kits. The Superprofil triple flanged hoops are redesigned, and the Sonor badge and logo used in between 1952 and 1961 are giving the drums the final touch for the classic look.

Vintage snare drum features
Vintage snare drums feature the Super 50 throw off, a completely redesigned strainer that is inspired by the throw off used on the legendary Sonor D-411 and D-412 snares in the 1950's. Vintage bass drums and shell sets are available with the re-issue of the classic iron-shape bracket, which fits all Sonor single and double tom holders.
