Attention Sonor collectors and vintage drum enthusiasts! ✔️

Up for sale is a highly sought-after, transition-era Sonor Performer 14" x 12" suspended tom in classic Gloss White. Made in West Germany in February 1990 (confirmed by the internal factory ink stamp "200"), this drum marks the very final chapter of legendary German-made Sonor mid-tier production before manufacturing shifted to Asia. ✔️

Why this drum is a true collector's piece:

The Rare Late Poplar Shell: While early 80s Performers featured beechwood, this late 1990 masterpiece features a premium 9-ply German Poplar (Toplar) shell + bearing adges 45*. The interior is beautifully light/whitish with pristine bearing edges. ✔️

Poplar gives this deep 14" tom an incredibly warm, fat, and punchy low-end tone with smooth mids—perfect for studio or stage. ✔️

Heavy-Duty German Hardware: Built like a tank, this drum sports the iconic massive lugs and die-cast style slotted tension rods carried over from the flagship Phonic series. ✔️

Badge: Features the clean, original silver-gray badge with the black mallets logo and performer series, making it a great aesthetic and acoustic match for any 80s/90s Sonor setup. ✔️
