I just can't bring myself to like what happens to great old drum names. That is a disgrace to the German name. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice custom snare ... but it has nothing ... nothing ... nothing to do with the great name of Trixon. Why put the name on an American Custom drum? Name recognition. That sucks.

So, then why not call it Buford? The target market for this brand is not folks like us who know what that brand name represented once upon a time. The Trixon name is as meaningless as Slingerland, Leedy, Rogers to a 14 year old kid who wants a drum. Just my two cents.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

I guess the question is who is using the name and do they own it?

Nice china knock offs?

Can't argue with the price.

No mystery here... some jamoke put together a snare drum and simply added a vintage Trixie badge because it looks cool. Now, it's being sold as a 'Trixon' when the only thing 'Trixon' about the drum, is the badge. Somebody's little custom project that got out of the cage and is now running amok in the world posing as a Trixon drum. Identity theft...

BS. I can put one of those together for (+-) $250. shell, parts and all. Got an old Trixie badge?

Too many great drums to list here!
