In 1975, SONOR was the first drum brand to introduce a 45° bearing edge for maximum resonance and sustain. For us, developing the optimal drum is based on our exceptional manufacturing process that has evolved over the years. It's about our unique technique, how we hand-select the wood, and how we specially heat & press each drum shell.
