Sonor SQ2
Drum kit · Germany
The SQ2 is less a kit than an order form: shell timber, thickness, bearing edge, hardware, and finish are chosen drum by drum, with maple, beech, birch, and American walnut all offered in more than one thickness. Every SQ2 is made in Bad Berleburg and takes months.

Trixon Speedfire
Drum kit · Germany
The Speedfire's bass drum is a single elliptical shell divided internally into two chambers of different volume, played with a twin pedal so a drummer gets two bass pitches from one drum. It did not catch on and is unmistakable.

Sonor Vintage Series
Drum kit · Germany
The Vintage Series revives Sonor's 1950s and 1960s specification: thin German beech shells, rounded bearing edges, and the teardrop lug, in the small sizes those kits were actually built in.

Model
Sonor SQ1
Drum kit · Germany
The SQ1 takes the SQ2's German birch shells and thin-shell philosophy and fixes the configurations and finishes, which brings a Bad Berleburg kit within reach of drummers who do not need a bespoke build.

Model
Trixon Telstar
Drum kit · Germany
The Telstar's bass drum tapers from a large batter head to a smaller resonant one, a shape Trixon argued projected better. Like the Speedfire it is remembered more for its silhouette than its sales.

Model
Sonor Delite
Drum kit · Germany
Delite paired very thin maple shells with minimal hardware mass, aiming at maximum shell resonance. It sat between the imported lines and the German flagship for most of its production life.

Model
Sonor Phonic
Drum kit · Germany
Phonic is the Sonor most drummers picture: dense beech shells, chrome-heavy hardware, and a low, controlled tone that made the kits fixtures in European studios. Original Phonic drums are collected as seriously as any American vintage kit.

Model
Sonor ProLite
Drum kit · Germany
ProLite used thin beech shells with cross-laminated construction and Sonor's Tune-Safe lugs, and was the company's flagship production kit before the SQ line consolidated the top of the range.
