Then Feanor and the Noldor came .Boom number drops to 13. At the end of the First Age the number dropped to 7. That's wrong. Tolkien reconsidered the number of balrogs and found thousands was too many. So he lowered them so that there were only 13 balrogs in total. As far as I know, only one balrog (Durin's Bane) survived the War of Wrath.

Some Balrogs had escaped, this means more than one would probaly have survived, now sleeping deeply as time waits for Morgoth's return. Durins Bane. . . the only one who is driven away from his long "hibernation", thanks to the dwarves of khasad dum.
