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.

Breaking News! The Rev Goes to Germany!

The kind folks at Sonor extended an invitation to visit the Sonor factory and experience Germany first-hand. See the report (still in progress) by clicking the Sonor building below!

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.
