Sonor Announce Momentum Line

Sonor Announce Momentum Line

2025 sets an important milestone in SONOR’s 150-year history. It’s a year dedicated to the company’s legacy, past and tradition, but also the time to look towards innovation, evolution, and new creative horizons, as they are as much a part of SONOR’s tradition and DNA.

In 2025, we are thrilled to introduce our brand-new Made in Germany drum series: MOMENTUM. This line combines the best of all our German-made drums, bringing together the most popular SONOR shell construction, shell materials and hardware features with fresh veneers, timeless wrap finishes and proven matte lacquer finishes.

Built on 150 years of craftsmanship and experience – and developed with a sharp eye on today’s market needs – MOMENTUM is our next step into the future of serially produced drums Made in Germany.

MOMENTUM marks more than a product launch – it’s a defining moment where tradition meets progress. A series that lays the foundation for our next chapter.

Available in maple, birch, or beech, the MOMENTUM shells feature SONOR’s most popular 9-ply (6mm) shell construction on all drums. Every wood type is available in an elegant semi gloss veneer, sleek matte lacquers or timeless high-quality Delmar wrap – designed to meet both visual and acoustic expectations.

The four available finishes – Red Pearl (wrap), Satin Pure White (matte lacquer), GT Black (matte lacquer), and California Burl (semi gloss veneer) – bring together favourites from past series with fresh, modern inspiration. California Burl is a completely new finish, making its debut with the MOMENTUM series and launching exclusively with this kit.



When it comes to hardware, MOMENTUM combines the best of our proven innovations – including the acclaimed ProLite T.A.R. tom mounts and our advanced Sound Sustainer system, already known from the SQ1 series, on floor toms.
