The Sonor AQ2 Stage Set in Titanum Quartz is a five-piece drum set for advanced drummers or ambitious beginners with seven-layer maple drum shells. The drums are manufactured by Sonor according to the proven CLTF principle, i.e. the wood layers are cross-glued at a 90° angle. Sonor's AQ2 series lugs are all equipped with the TuneSafe system for constant tuning. The bearing edges of the shell are 45°, which results in an exact head support and a focused tone. The new Sonor Smart Mount Tom suspension was developed in Germany and ensures low shell contact and optimal resonance.
All drums of the AQ2 series consist of seven layers of maple. Three layers of Canadian maple are covered by two layers of Asian maple on the outsde and two layers on the inside. The result is 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, which contributes significantly to the balanced and resonant sound. In addition, the individual wood layers are glued crosswise at an angle of 90°, so the shell remains tension-free. The lugs are all equipped with the Sonor TuneSafe system, which ensures tuning reliability and constant sound. The exact 45° bearing edge also allows easy tuning and perfect head support and focuses the sound additionally.
The Sonor AQ2 Series Tom-Toms 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. The Sonor Smart Mount System features a suspension rail that is integrated directly into the lug and a high-quality hard rubber buffer between the 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). So you have the right drums for every application and musical style. No matter if small club gig, street music, recording studio or big festival - there is the right drumset for everyone. In addition, four high-quality lacquer finishes and one wrap finish are available. A special feature of the Sonor AQ2 series is that every drum size in every finish is also available as a single drum, so your own set-up can be extended and changed as you like.
Great quality drum kit and good value. The shell finish is beautiful and all the drums are easy to tune and have a refined full sound. Very happy with this kit and would highly recommend for professional use.
