Sonor Vintage Series: reissue of classic Teardrop kits

To celebrate their 140th anniversary, Sonor released a new line of drums that can be viewed as a reissue of the classic Teardrop series. With the new Vintage series, the characteristics sound and look of the classic '50s and 60s Teardrop kits is brought into the 21st century! In the '60s, drummers like Connie Kay, Kenny 'Klook' Clark and Sonny Payne were big fans of the Sonor Teardrop kits. As they were such high-quality kits, made exclusively from the best materials, they are still highly sought-after by vintage drum collectors. The new Vintage series gives you the option to choose from two different configurations, both available in three finishes, as well as twelve separately available components.

Vintage Series: material and design

Just like the original drums they hark back to, the Vintage series drums are made of high-quality beech from Germany. 9 plies of beech are used to create a 6mm-thick shell with rounded bearing edges. This gives them that characteristic warm, dry sound with plenty of sustain that we know from the '50s and '60s. The shells are then fitted with chrome hardware that complements the available finishes nicely. Sonor has paid great attention to detail, as they faithfully reproduced the classic tension rods and hoops. While they've added a few modern upgrades, the look and feel has remained the same. To round it all off, the shells are even adorned with the logo Sonor used between 1952 and 1961. These kits are available in three different finishes: Vintage Onyx, Vintage Natural and Vintage Pearl.
