  Sonor

  Models: 14 · Categories: 4

  Founded by Johannes Link in Weissenfels and rebuilt at Bad Berleburg after the war, Sonor is the oldest drum company still making drums. Its reputation rests on dense, thin beech and maple shells and on hardware heavy enough to be a running joke among drummers who move their own gear. The SQ2 system lets a buyer specify shell timber, thickness, and bearing edge drum by drum.

  Trixon

  Models: 2 · Categories: 1

  Trixon built conventional drums well and unconventional ones memorably: the Speedfire kit's single bass drum shell was divided internally into two tuned chambers, and the Telstar had a conical bass drum. The originals are rarer than their photographs suggest.
