I found this 'thing'. Guy says it's a Sonor. Looks to me like a 'mutant' kit pieced together by different parts. Almost sure the 2 concert toms are Tacton. The bass drum puzzles me: 20"x32". Researched all Sonor resources I could find on the net, no sign of such size. No badges, strange tom mount and lugs - is there something sonor there besides the writing on the bd reso? What do you think we have here?

Vintage Sonor? or 'mutant' kit?

All the hardware on this drum is from Amati and Tacton.Ceskoslovakian and East German producers.Lugs and tom holder are from Amati,also bass drum spirs,but those, sory for my english.screws that hold bas drum claws are from Tacton drums.So,that is about hardware,can't say enything about wood...

It's probably cobbled from two drums.
Some of the hardware looks almost "Swinger"ish to me.

Distinctly remember some company coming out with that bass drum set up. It was a deep one, a shallow one, but they clipped together too. Probably about the time John Otto came out with that daft deep bass drum...

Yeah, they really DO look like Amati, but could be something that Amati copied.
