Company Sonor Drums at T-D-S
Background In 1875 Johannes Link, a trained wood worker, started a small workshop to produce simple military drums and drum heads in East Germany. By the turn of the century, this small operation was offering a comprehensive range of percussion instruments. By the 1920’s,  Sonor had 145 employees and was one of the largest businesses of its kind. After the end of World War II the East German Government expropriated the Link Family and Sonor became a state owned enterprise. In 1946, Otto and Horst Link, the son and grandson of the founder established a new company that would become what is now known as Sonor. Sonor offers a large catalog of drums and hardware, and supports a large artist roster. Sonor offers beginner to high-end professional drums and percussion products.

Sonor Giant Step Middle Pedal

Sonor Giant Step Middle Pedal

Different from any other pedal on the market today, the Giant Step Middle Pedal utilizes central beater placement with symmetrical slave pedals on both the right and left foot. This construction provides a perfectly uniform action on both feet while allowing you to place the kick drum in the center of the true stereo field of your drums. The Giant Step Middle Pedal also allows for the creative setups that today's modern music demand. Like all Giant Step pedals the Middle Pedal incorporates unique and patented features only available from Sonor. First and foremost is the docking station. Simply attach the docking station receiver to your bass drum hoop and the pedal's Smart Connect system attaches the pedal with the flick of one lever. No more reaching under the pedal to secure it to the bass drum and more importantly no more chewed-up bass drum hoops. But that's only the beginning. The exclusive Rotation Pendulum tension spring attachment point allows for maximum action and dynamics without loss of energy. Spring mount locations are equipped with high-speed needle bearings for frictionless action and can easily be exchanged for use of alternative types of springs. Beater cams can be individually adjusted independent of the footboard angle to personalize your setup. In order to allow for your ideal playing position, the playing height and position of the footboard target can be adjusted to suit your style. 4 high-speed roller bearings are integrated into a crossbeam at the heel joint allowing for the fastest possible action. If you're ready to step up to the next level of pedal technology, make it a giant step with Sonor!
