Solist

Trixon steel shell drums feature exclusive sheet metal with a maximum thickness at the top rim that graduates into a slightly thinner thickness at the bottom rim. Our steel drums start off as continuous pieces of sheet metal and are laser cut and machine welded. After the shells are formed and checked for continuous horizontal thickness they are electroplated with chromium to seal out moisture and solidify the sound.

All our Solist Snares feature the Trixon Hamburg German Snare String/Lock System. It provides the most secure and constant tension on snare strings than any other Snare Drum. Play your snare until your sticks are whittled down to toothpicks it won’t matter. You’ll never have to stop to reclaim snare strings with the Trixon Snare String/Lock System. Maple Shells with oversized shell thickness are the first Hamburg Basic Design. Karl-Heinz Weimer believed as a drum aged or ripened the stability of the structure was important to realize the full gain from the aging wood. Since sound is created from the drum shell through the tension on the shell itself the oversized Maple Shell always makes sure the tension is upheld. To get rid of any unwanted overtones the Solist Snare features an anti-vibration system that is designed from the snare hoops down to the lugs and washers all engineered to eliminate any unwanted vibrations. The Solist Snare and the Hamburg Drumset gets their name because they use the original Trixon Hamburg designs. The Snare drum is perfect in construction and what makes it unique is its powerhouse projection like that of famous American Snare Drums combined with Sustaining lyrical tone like that of European Snare Drums a player can express himself not only in volume but melody. Our Solist Snares are offered in beautiful stained shells in Standard & Piccolo Snare Sizes.

If shooting up the stage isn’t your thing this snare has the ability to tune down for a powerful jazz sound.
The Precipitation-Hardening Martensitic Stainless Steel we use in these shells is one of the toughest and strongest varieties. Usually reserved for CNC machine technology, Trixon manufacturing has perfected the thinning of this high-chromium metal, hand-etching the shell and then hardening it once again. The end product is a snare that looks as great as it sounds.
Our shell hardware uses Low Mass Multi-Point Cylinder Lug Technology™. This technology allows for a single cylinder lug attached to the absolute middle of the drum shell to be anchored into the shell by multiple attachment points. The natural physics of our low mass cylinders direct tensioned-energy equally into the multiple mounting points on the lug. The arrangement of this hardware in relation to the shell minimizes the amount of metal-through-wood contact and maximizes sound producing area. Multiple point anchors assure equal drum head tension throughout the snare.
