Wow, 2,500.00 is very high for the set why it's a piece together set,the set should be a 3 piece,the floor tom and the bass with that made up double tom mount, the 13" tom on the left is the set, the other bass drum and tom on right is added to the set..look at the photo of the tom -13"-one you posted it has had the wrap re-moved and stain to try to match the other 3 drums so does the other bass drum with-out the toms mounted on it....I would say you would be lucky to get 600.00 for the set ...Mikey

Sell One Bass Drum Separately. You Should Be Able To Get More

This Way. I've Seen One Of These On Drum Forum And The Guy Is

Asking 1200 With Not Too Much Action.

A Teardrop 22" BD is a hard size to find. Also, your drums are in beautiful condition. I think you could get as much as $1500 for a 22-13-16, and then sell off the other 22 and 13 and maybe get another $350 - $550 for those two drums.

This Rosewood Teardrop set recently sold for $1200, and the condition was much worse than yours appears to be: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&hash=item1e615c3806&item=130482452486&nma=true&pt=Vintgae_Drums_Percussion&rt=nc&si=e0SqkUIi2kUv93Tc2VaV1UjzJrg%253D

Thanks Bill for the good feedback. I had thought the same thing about splitting it into two sets. See them FS here first, then if no sale, on Ebay. I have a 1965 ten-lug Slingerland snare, speed king petal, Premier flush base hi-hat and other stuff to sell as well.

As to the comment above that one of the toms is a re-wrap, that is not the case. All of the drums look a little bit different, since they are covered with real rosewood veneer. Since I was working at Lail's Music in Richmond VA and we were a Sonor dealer, I ordered the drums for myself and took them out of the boxes from Germany. Unless little German elves snuck into my house and rewraped a perfectly finished tom for the fun of it, that is the original finish.

Yep the ones at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...aV1UjzJrg%253D are in decent shape, but not nearly as pristine as mine. Most of the rosewood Sonors I have seen had some fading, as if they sat in a practice room for a long time and the sun bleached them. Mine almost never saw the sun except at maybe an outdoor show or two. They went from original boxes to fiber cases to a bunch of gigs for two years, back in the cases. I always kept them polished with Pledge so they still shine like new.

They will be put on the market in two weeks when I get back from a tour.

Sonor's sure are cool drums.......

One of my favs........just wish I could win the lottery to buy a set!

and last but not least they sound even better then they look! the tuning

range is phenomenal! my 12x8 is pitched higher then my japanese drums

and that's tuned low. and they are 8's and10's! do any of you fella's know

the official sonor reason for their demise? they are a hassle to travel with.

and mine is a bebop kit.

What a nice set of drums!. They worth every penny. I have the same set on 13,16,22...Looking for a snare to complement...also have an extra 16x16 6 ply later era Rosewood floor tom which Im going to be selling soon. Yours are in Bowing pristine condition...Good luck with your sale!!!
