The Evolution of Sonor Hardware


1979

Improvements to 1979 hardware include a new base for the hihat stands, and the introduction of a legless hihat for double bass setups. Little touches like wingnuts are improved both structurally and cosmetically.

Double cymbal stand Z5228 is introduced along with a the new double tom stand Z5226. Double braced legs.

Compare this hardware to the popular Ludwig Hercules stands of the same period.

There is no comparison.

Snare stand with updated wing nuts and the addition of the optional Z5529 extension tube for those who want their snare at cymbal height (?!?)

Z5227 Boom arm

Z6204 Bongo stand

Z5224 - extra wide base.

Z5229 - standard base.

Z5232 cymbal stand with single braced legs.
