Sonor Vintage Series 14" x 5,75" Black Slate Snare
Product information "Sonor Vintage Series 14" x 5,75" Black Slate Snare"
To mark the 140th anniversary of the SONOR company, SONOR is bringing back the sound and look of the period between the 50s and 70s and presenting the new VINTAGE drum series, Made in Germany.
SONOR Teardrop drums were already being manufactured to the highest quality standards in the 60s and were the first choice of international stars such as Connie Kay, Roy Hanes, Sonny Payne and Kenny 'Klook' Clark.
SONOR Teardrops are among the most sought-after vintage drums on the market. The use of round shell ridges marks the return of the 'old SONOR sound' to the product range. SONOR developed and introduced the 45 degree shell burr to the market in 1975. These ridges are still used today on SQ², Prolite and Force drums. With the addition of the Vintage series, including the round shell ridge, today's drummer has access to a complete range of unique SONOR sounds from 140 years of company history.
In co-operation with SONOR artists and collectors, the SONOR team has tried to bring the new Vintage series as close as possible to its predecessor Teardrop Drums in terms of sound and appearance.
Of course, the accumulated know-how in terms of construction was also used to make the series meet today's requirements in terms of stability.
As with the original Teardrop Drums, hand-selected German beech shells with round shell ridges are also used for the Vintage series. We have adopted the look and feel of the 1950s teardrop shells and equipped them with the well-known Tunesafe™ system. Even the smallest details such as the flanged super profile hoops and the logo, which was used between 1952 and 1961, have been lovingly recreated in the Vintage series.
The VINTAGE snare drums use a new snare lift-off. The 'Super 50' is a completely redesigned version of the lift-off used on SONOR D-411 and D-412 snare models in the 50s.

I bought the sonor vintage series 14”x5.75” black slate snare drum from Musik-Produktiv and have to say it is a fantastic sounding snare drum. I would highly recommend Musik-produktiv to anyone how is looking to purchase a musical instrument. I live in N. Ireland and it took about 4 days from order to delivery. I will be using Musik-Produktiv again in the future no problem.
