Sonor S-class 1990's double tom holder options

Posts: 73 Threads: 12

I have a late 1990's first generation German made Sonor S-class kit. 10" tom,12"tom,14"-floor tom. I am missing just the double tom holder system.(bass drum rising post, both-prism clamps,and both-tom arms. The tom suspension mount on the 2 toms are called T.I.M. (Total Acoustic Isolation Mounts)

What options would you guys recommend to find another tom holder. I have searched and searched and they are simply "impossible" to find. The T.I.M. mounts accept 19" arms and the bass drum mount accepts i think a 24mm post or whatever is slightly "smaller" than 1-inch. Can any Sonor guys chime in on this one?. I would like to still use a Sonor brand mount. Would an older Force 2000 or 3000 work or would i be better off changing the T.I.M. mounts to the newer T.A.R. mounts and buy the newer L-rod arms to fit the T.A.R. mounts? Thanks.

My sonor delite kit has the T.A.R. mounting system and is very solid, very adjustable and upgradeable, as long as you are able to retrofit without any alterations to your shells, its a good way to go. good hunting.

I think i will just wait until i find a 10" and 12" T.A.R. mount then. Of course i would not alter the shells. I emailed Sonor a month ago and never heard anything from them.(Poor customer service) Talked to a few dealers and never heard back from them either. This is a nice set of drums but i think next time i will pass on anything Sonor that is missing any crucial parts. Thanks.

Hi. Yes i had that guy check with Sonor and had no luck. I bought a few non Sonor things off him a few months ago.. i could buy the 19mm Force arms he has on his site for $28euros converted over to dollars and shipping would set me back over $100.00 and use a drum rack but i dont like racks anymore and was hoping for a Sonor double tom holder that would work. Thanks.

@dde:

Indeed. May I be of help for you? I'm from Germany and it's easy for me to make a phone call there and see what happens.

Can you name, please, the exact article number (if available) or an exact spare part description? I'll go after that then.

Ralf

NB: just thinking of another option for the search. This forum:
