Sonor New Orleans set
Probably a once in a life time chance to get your hands on such a complete Original set of classic drums in such condition
These feature a shell design similar to most US makers of the time but are crafted with
Beech Shells, which proved to be Sonor's Winner as a shell material
for nearly 3 decades

These are Very nice thin shells and have inner rings  and the combination creates a balance between
the attack with the resonant note of the drum
The drums are punchy with a good attack presence but a very warm woody tone
One Kick of the Bass and you start Feeling like Kenny Clarke and the big smile on your
bass players face will go flat!



Condition:



 This set is 100% original including , rods washers hoops etc.

Shells and edges are in excellent factory condition

The Chrome is unlike any of this era and is in excellent condition on the fittings, hoops,
lugs T's Claws and rods. Sonor Chrome from this era never looks this good there are only a few light pits on the snare hoops

Bass hoops are solid with great original finish and complete with inlays

The only flaws i can find are 1 new rubber foot on a ft leg, there was a light reglue on the 16" floor toms inner ring and the bass drum
mounted cymbal L arm came off of a beverly bass drum  but fits well in the sonor mount and is very similar to those issued with these sets

Throughout the series of pics you can get a good idea of the low miles and lack of use of this set of drums
If you ever wanted to try a set of these Classic Sonor drums now is a great chance to get into a great playing collectible.
