Sonor Teardrop kit

Just picked up this large kit thanks to a contact from a forum member. I really didn't need this kit but I was missing having a cool old school Sonor kit. I am guessing this is early 70's.

Manny,

Do any of the single badges have the logo mallet shaft that goes all the way to the edge of the badge ? Most shafts stop just shy of the edge. The not so common one`s go all the way to the edges. The metal bass hoops make me think 70`s but the snare looks late 60`s.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

011 is in one tom so I think November 1970? 12" tom has rounded edges so this is a transition or mixed kit.

Nice drums.

They are a ball to play.
