Trixon 20/13/16/4.5x14 "Luxus" Outfit Drum Set - Gold Glass Glitter

Here is a rare, super clean Trixon Lexus kit! Sizes are 14x20", 9x13", 16x16", and 4.5x14". These drums were made in Germany in the late 60's and are finished in Gold Glass Glitter. Trixon did a nice job finding a middle ground between champagne, ginger ale, and gold with this finish, and it has aged gracefully. These drums are in collector's condition with no visible marks in the finish and immaculate chrome. The only noteworthy cosmetic defect is a single slotted tension key replaced with an allen key on the interior floor tom leg bracket, and minor chipping on the silver bass drum hoops. Trixon's paint chips very easily and requires extra caution when being handled, as was the case on the previous Trixon kits we've had. The unique orange peel cracking effect they develop is worth the extra care - but also makes a refinish that much easier! The Swivomatic bass drum cymbal arm is not original to the kit. The metal strainer on the snare drum is an original Trixon strainer, and is far superior to the plastic alternative you sometimes see on Trixon snares. Check out our Reverb listing:

Beefy! Beautiful sounding drums...

[@davidsuprenant893]

Nice looking kit Steve. Absolutely love the sizes as well.

[@iamadog]

"rare, super clean" is right! That's beautiful. So many of those Trixon glitter finishes faded or "splotched" horribly.
According to the Trixon book, their supplier used a fine grain of glass in those wraps. Incredible looking under the lights.

Always was intrigued by these drums but never got to play one. Great playing!

Nice kit! I ran across some modern looking Trixons on the web. The shells are yellow birch. Any idea what’s the skinny on those kits? Very affordable. Also, I love your playing Steve🥁🥁

They used to make great vibraphones too.
