    Description

    6 piece Sonor Phonic Plus Drum Kit- MINT.
    I have for sale a beautiful set of GERMAN MADE Sonor 9 ply Phonic Plus drums. I purchased these new in 1982. You may never find a better kept set of German Made Quality Sonor Drums.
    I personally picked out each and every shell for our studio kit. They have never left the studio and never saw a club or stage. They have never been left out ina Car, Truck, Van or Mini Cooper. They have been used on many platinum Pop and Rock records and played by some of the biggest names in drumming. ( I can't tell you exactly who because most of them had deals with Yamaha). They are a gorgeous Candy Apple Red wrap finish, which is achieved by painting the wrap with a metallic Gold base and then applying a translucent red over them. They are as close to mint as you can get for a set of this vintage. The snare is a true Sonor Chrome snare and comes with the Sonor snare stand. Because the set was almost never moved, the hardware is perfect. All of the memory lock threads are like new as is all of the tuning pegs and adjustments.
    Now about the sound: This is by far one of the most amazing kick drums I have ever recorded. It is big and yet extremely well defined. The toms are huge and musical. They have a presence that is so beautiful it is difficult to define. The snare is deep and sharp. Most of all, these drums along with the Sonor Signature Series were made during an era when some of the best modern percussion  instruments were made, (if you were willing to pay for it) and are as high a quality as you could get at the time. They respond to tuning like any fine instrument.
    Here are the sizes: 22" X 20" Kick / 12 X 12 Rack Tom /13 X 13Rack Tom / 15 X 16 Floor / 16 X 18 Floor / 14 X 6 Snare.  Please note that shipping will probably be a few hundred dollars depending on where you are.
    I also have some cymbal stands , a smoking Zildjian ride and two crash cymbals that I will sell for 0 to whoever buys the drums.
    I am only selling these because we rarely record music anymore.
