Sonor · Models
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.

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.

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.
