7/25/2019 1997 FD SonorNews 06 http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/1997-fd-sonornews-06 1/5 NAMM 2014 issue N E W S D R U M www.sonor.com Hall D, Booth Number 3240 NASA, ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScl/AURA) SONOR, proudly celebrating a tradition of over 135 years of excellence has announced the launch of the Limited Edition SQ² Stellar Spire kit to be introduced at Winter NAMM 2014. These limited SQ² drums will be offered in a Stage 3 configuration, 22“ x 18“ virgin bass drum, 10“ x 8“ and 12“ x 9“ toms, 16“ x 16“ floor tom and a 14“ x 6“ snare drum. The shells are handmade in Germany from 9-ply, hand-selected North American Maple, featuring the stunning air brushed Stellar Spire finish and black nickel- plated fittings. The snare drum features Die Cast hoops Made in Germany and uses SONOR’s Dual Glide snare strainer system. For more information check out the SONOR homepage: · www.sonor.com · www.facebook.com/sonordrums On this project SONOR is working with the talents of MachArt, a two person air brush specialized lacquer company not too far away from the SONOR factory in Germany. The idea behind this kit was to replicate a high resolution picture, taken from the Hubble space telescope in outer space, as a complete theme on a drum kit. The drum kit shows the Stellar Spire in the Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and is also known as the Star Queen Nebula) in the constellation Serpens (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Nebula). This piece of art is hand painted over a piano black lacquered ground coat at MachArt in Germany and has been high gloss lacquered to perfection in the SONOR factory in Germany once the air brush job was done. The theme finds itself from the bird‘s eye view on the bass drum and in spectators view from right to left on the rest of the shells. These kits will be available in a very limited quantity and will be timeless and valuable collector pieces. p

The instrument badges highlight laser cut mallet shaped logos, made out of the
same veneer that is used on the snares itself. Due to the massive success with
the actual Gavin Harrison Signature snare drums, SONOR chose to cooperate with
HARDCASE UK again. Each One Of A Kind snare drum i s delivered in a hard case,
made to SONOR's specification.
ne Of A Kind edition features an extremely limited run of special designed snare drums with spectacular natural grown
rs and new shell designs. For each edition a certain tree has been selected with the goal in mind to only use the most
g parts of the grain and set them to perfectly set vertical grain patterns. Vertical outside veneer grains have been introduced
gh SONOR in 1973, and have been a company trademark ever since. All veneers are sourced at specialized supp liers in
any, which guarantee that these trees come from environment friendly sources and are exported/ imported legally.
Based on the success of the 2010Beech Infinite Drums, SONOR is proudto announce the Birch Infinite SpecialEdition Shell Set, Made in Germany.

The Birch Infinite Drums are very versatile and easy to tune. The birch shells provtremendous projection and a solid, distinctive warm tone. The smooth, balanced
