WELCOME

Welcome to the ORIGINAL site dedicated to the dissemination of information on new and out-of-production SONOR Drums and accessories. I have owned a Sonor kit since 1986. IMHO, there is no other brand ANYWHERE that compares in sound, finish, construction and quality.

Inside you'll find scans from our catalog collection, specs, finishes - basically anything I can glean from an ever expanding infobase.
I am appealing to EVERY SONOR OWNER to share pics, stories, catalogs, rumors or ANYTHING remotely related to these wonderful drums.

Check out our new "REVIEWS" SECTION!

First Article: Phonic Reissue Snares

This site is not affiliated with Sonor Percussion, HohnerUSA or Hohner Musikinstrumente GmbH & Co. KG.
Though it does operate with their knowledge and (I hope) consent/approval...

This site looks best on a 17" or larger monitor set to at least 1024x768 and millions of colors.
