The Sonor AQ2 Studio Bop Set in Brown Fade is a four-piece drum set for advanced drummers or ambitious beginners with seven-layer maple drum shells. The small size of the Bop Kit makes it suitable for almost every conceivable situation; whether in the rehearsal room, on stage or in the closet - the "Bop" Kit simply fits and still cuts a good figure. The drums are manufactured by Sonor according to the proven CLTF principle, i.e. the wood layers are cross-glued at an angle of 90°. Sonor's AQ2 series lugs are all equipped with the TuneSafe system for constant tuning. The bearing edges are 45°, resulting in an exact head positioning and a focussed tone. The new Sonor Smart Mount Tom suspension was developed in Germany and ensures low shell contact and unhindered resonance.
All drums of the AQ2 drums are made of seven layers of maple. Three layers of Canadian maple are covered with two layers of Asian maple on the outside and two layers on the inside. This results in a very warm and focused tone with a deep basic character. The bass drum is 7.2 mm thin and toms / snare only 5.8 mm, this contributes significantly to the balanced and resonant sound. In addition, the individual layers of wood are cross-glued at an angle of 90°, so that the shell remains free of tension. The lugs are all equipped with the Sonor TuneSafe system, thus ensuring tuning reliability and constant sound. The exact 45° bearing edge allows easy tuning and perfect head support and additionally focuses the sound.
The Tom-Toms of the Sonor AQ2 series are suspended using the Smart Mount System. This new mounting system for drums was manufactured by Sonor in Germany and convinces with its minimalist design and high functionality. The suspension has only two points of contact with the drum shell and allows it to resonate unhindered. The Sonor Smart Mount System has a suspension rail directly integrated into the lugs and a high-quality hard rubber padding between shell and rail for more resonance and balanced sustain.
The Sonor AQ2 series is available in five different configurations (Stage, Studio, Bop, Safari and Martini). Thus, the right drums are available for every application and style of music. No matter if small club gig, street music, recording studio or big festival - here you will find the right drumset for every application. Four high-quality lacquer finishes and a wrap finish are also available. A great feature of the Sonor AQ2 series is that every drum size in every finish is also available as a single drum, so every set-up can be extended and converted as required.
