your record reservoire is amazing as always. Thanks for sharing this info!
The drum set is an old Trixon Telstar set with conical shells designed and manufactured by Karlheinz Weimer in Hamburg/Germany in the 60s and 70s. The were marketed in the States under the Vox brand name. Trixon (Weimer) also built the Spitfire series with flattened elliptical bass drums that allowed for mounting two pedals side by side. Those drums looked cool and different, but were actually not useful and failed on the market. Trixon is long out of business, but their obscure drums are still sought after by vintage gear hunters. Curious how that set has made it to the Discuba staff.
Greetings,
Thomas
