  The Story
»This is the first Trixon drum kit that I purchased back in 2008.
A friend said that he was selling a kit that his dad had owned since the early 60’s and asked if I was interested. He had it set up when I arrived and straight away I had made my mind up that this would be new kit.
I then began researching the Trixon drums and this brought me into contact with Ingo Winterberg whose awesome knowledge has helped me to continue developing my obsession with all things Trixon«

1962/63 in blue stripes
This early Telstar set in this finish is a real rare item!!!

The Story  »Saw this for sale in the U.K. and just had to contact the seller immediately. During conversation with the seller I said that I had a Beverley Blue Oyster Kit and it transpired that he had been after one for ages... 4 hours later I am driving off with this very rare kit in my car having agreed to a swop for my Beverley! «

-I in red sparkle - 1967
The Story  »I had always wanted to own one of these amazing drum kits, so in my despair posted onto the Vintage Drum Forum on the Wanted Ads. One year later I receive a private message that there is one for sale in San Francisco-California! One of the Forum members contacted another and he kindly viewed it for me-just a bit too far to fly for a viewing! 3 weeks later the drum was in the U.K. and my dreams had come true! «

The Story  » Sat at home on a lazy Saturday morning, when I receive a call from a local music shop saying ...you like Trixon Drums don’t you...we’ve just had one come in as a part exchange for a guitar-would you like to come down and have a look?

On arriving at the store I see this extremely rare early Red Stripes kit and with the Teardrop Lugs.... Holding my breath and composing myself I ask how much do you want for it?.....

Couldn’t believe my ears when he said £100 !!! Still not fully restored to its 100% glory but due to its rarity showing it today as for me it was definitely the sale of the century!

After searching high and low, I have very recently acquired the matching snare drum, which I have just purchased from Ingo Winterberg in Germany.«

Ingo Winterberg has restored this snare drum in great condition for Dave!

  
in aquamarine sparkle -1961/62

The Story  » After owning five Trixon drum kits and collecting cymbals, foot pedals, stool, drum keys, irons, Trixon drum books/catalogues and nine snare drums I thought my overgrowing collection was complete...
Then I saw this stunning example, I was totally blown away by the aqua sparkle wrap and knew it was an earlier model, fortunately for me my birthday is in September and my wife agreed to buy it for me!«

I also own the original Jimmy Kavanagh Trixon drum skin from 1959 and a set of 3 original Trixon drum cases that I was very lucky to find with the Red Stripe kit!
