I found this photos of the year 1980 showing me playing with my first band EPHISUS on a school party and in the garden. Our style: psychedelic rock with a little bit of blues. |
I know you don´t believe
it, but it´s my TRIXON set - in
a special design. Sorry, but in those years I don´t have an idea what
TRIXON is.

I'm Bryn Hoffman and i live near Brighton in Britain and
am a regular user of your fantastic website, being a confessed Trixon
junkie. Thought i might send you some pictures of my band, The Shoestrung, playing with my red marine-pearl teardrop lug Luxus kit which we gig with regularly. I am only 17 but have been playing Trixon drums since i was about 13. At 13 I was playing drums in a band and was lucky enough to get signed to record an album of our (very young) takes on the blues. We were put in a studio which was completely analog and the owner had me record the album on a blue marine pearl Telstar ... i was completely taken by the incredible sound (we recorded the whole album using just 3 mikes on the drumkit) and style of this strange old thing and bought my Luxus soon after. (We were signed to the same management who look after The Pretty Things, whose album is also recorded on the Trixon). Since then the album has come out with all the original drum tracks (The Malchicks - To Kill A Mockingbird) but, unfortunately, I left the band before its release to start The Shoestrung (for which I am a singer, guitarist and harmonica player). After much deliberation I decided to let our drummer use my Trixon for gigs because nothing bore comparison! We're an RnB band, all in our teens, who happen to be obsessed by vintage kit, and the Rolling Stones. You can hear our music on the infernal myspace.com/theshoestrung, all the tracks are recorded on the Trixon. Anyways, hope you enjoy the pictures (these are from one particular gig in Brighton) and are comforted by the fact that the legacy of Trixon lives on amongst the oh so lost youth. |

Wico Vos gives the following
informations:
This is me playing my 'Trixon' drumkit in 'Swinge bij Dinge' in Tilburg, the Netherlands. I played in the band called 'The Backyards'. We played rock'n roll. 'The backyards' doesn't exist anymore, like loads of other musical experiments. The 'Trixon' drumkit was last produced in 1956 in West-Germany. It was the first brand with an oval shaped double bass drum. The cybals are the original Zildijan hi-hat, crash and ride and a new Paiste crash. The hardware was from Premier and had a Hi-hat and bass pedal with a twisting heel. Verry fast and controlable. Yet it is modernised with Pearl stands and a Ludwig Speedking bass-pedal. I bought it from an old guy who was deaf and wanted to invest in his photographic equipment. |

Here you see my 'Trixon' drumkit in a small studio.
It has a nice Red Sparkle that looks real oldfashioned. The snairkit you see here is a Sonor. The original snairkit is broke. The mechanisme to span the snair is worn out. |
