I know the standard sizes for these drums was 20/13/16 (and later the 12" tom was an option), but I'm looking at some old photos of Bernard Purdie and he's playing Teardrops in jazz sizes. I'm assuming because he was an endorser he could get customized sets; I'm also pretty sure I've seen bop sizes in natural finish that are super rare. But was there ever a set with 20/12/14 configuration? Thanks.
Sonor Teardrop 20/12/ 14"?

You could order a 20, 12, 14, as late as 1969.
The 50`s had a 20,12 configuration in student and the 20 was single tension with a stub lug in the middle.
I can`t translate four other years because they are in German and metric sizes listed.
It is entirely possible.
The 12 was cataloged before the 13 option in the early 50`s
Need a member that can translate German.
