British Drum Co Legend Series Shell Pack is a new range of drums that absolutely have the right name. The Legend Series speaks with awesome power and projection in any musical situation. The secret lies in the construction of the drums, which are handcrafted using cold-press moulding technology with 100% Scandinavian Birch veneers cross-laminated to form a 6mm thick shell. Legend’s super-strong shells are precision-cut with 45-degree bearing edges. The result is astoundingly natural lower fundamental tones with immediate attack and deep, controlled sustain. The versatility of the Legend Series is equally impressive. High tuning reveals a crisp delicacy that responds easily to subtle playing, whilst lower tunings bring out the deep punchiness of the bass drum and toms possess an unparalleled low-end growl. These drums sound rich and resonant. However you play – whether on stage or in the studio, Legend Series inspires you to play with real passion.

5-ply, 6.5mm cross-over shell: 3-ply maple core with American red oak inner and outer plies. This is a proprietary Ludwig design not traditional to most Oak builds. The maple add's more control and low-end to the Oak to produce a more well-rounded tone as opposed to a straight Oak shell.

Dual 45-degree bearing edge for added focus, attach, and tuning control. A 3-ply maple core is used at this shell's core for the apex of the bearing edge for even head to edge contact. The oak inner/outer plies maximize attack and stick definition for a sound with dark presence and sculpted definition.

Blending aggressive attack and dark tones with quick even decay. Classic Oak is ideal for settings where volume, attack, and control are of the utmost priority.

This produces exuberant, warming tones that are balanced and level across low, mid and high frequencies. Each shell has been designed with Sonor's innovative Optimum Shell Measurement technology which makes for a perfectly-rounded shell for a clear sound. Coupled with the SmartMount system, each drum booms with life whether you are a beginner, intermediate or pro-level drummer.

• Sonor introduces the SQ1 series, a new dimension in sound. Birch shells in combination with new innovative Sound Sustainer technology form the basis of a drum series with extraordinary sound characteristics. Together with exclusive matte lacquer finishes, a professional drum concept for live performance and studio recording was developed. Made in Germany.

  Features:

  100% European Birch shells

  SQ1 drum shells are made of 100% European Birch. Because of its sound characteristics – balanced in low, mid and high – the Birch drum sound is very popular for studio recordings as well as live performances. When developing SQ1, Sonor tested several combinations of Birch-based shell materials. Sonor’s conclusion was that pure Birch provided the most versatile sounding drum. Sonor’s unique CLTF “Cross Lamination Tension Free” and OSM “Optimum Shell Measurement” process (slightly narrowed outside shell measurement) provide excellent sustain and easy tuning.

  Sound Sustainer – the intelligent drum mount

  For decades Sonor has cooperated with scientific institutes to optimize the acoustic performance of their drums. Numerous pioneering concepts for the improvement of drum mounting systems have been developed. The new Sound Sustainer technology is based on concepts applied in the automotive industry. A 2-component connection (rubber to metal) enables complete isolation of the metal mount and the wooden shell. This guarantees a particularly long lasting and clean decaying sustain, not just for tom toms but also all floor toms in the SQ1 series.

  Matte lacquered finishes inspired by classic cars

  The SQ1 series’ exquisite looks were inspired by racetracks across the world, from Havana to Amsterdam. For 2021 the SQ1 now comes with matching colour bass drum hoops.

Legend’s super-strong shells are precision-cut with 45-degree bearing edges. The result is astoundingly natural lower fundamental tones with immediate attack and deep, controlled sustain. The versatility of the Legend Series is equally impressive. High tuning reveals a crisp delicacy that responds easily to subtle playing, whilst lower tunings bring out the deep punchiness of the bass drum and toms possess an unparalleled low-end growl. These drums sound rich and resonant. However you play – whether on stage or in the studio, Legend Series inspires you to play with real passion.

The Sonor AQ2 series features new German-engineered SmartMount technology. This minimises metal-to-shell contact and maximises natural resonance and sustain for a sound like none other. The SmartMount design is simplistic but effective allowing you to set up and pack down your kit in an instance, ideal for all kinds of stage use.

Maple shells

Shells constructed from maple are made up of seven plies, four plies of Canadian maple and three plies of Chinese maple. This produces exuberant, warming tones that are balanced and level across low, mid and high frequencies. Each shell has been designed with Sonor's innovative Optimum Shell Measurement technology which makes for a perfectly-rounded shell for a clear sound. Coupled with the SmartMount system, each drum booms with life whether you are a beginner, intermediate or pro-level drummer.

The Armory Series is the latest realisation of the Mapex hybrid shell concept. A fusion of birch and maple delivers the ultimate tonal expression, and the SONIClear™ bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flat, bringing out the best response by optimising the relationship between head and shell.

The Birch/Maple/Birch 6Ply 7.2mm shell with the new SONIClear™ Bearing Edge allows for the direct transmission of sound, reduces unwanted frequencies and provides a strong fundamental pitch and an effortless tuning experience especially at lower tunings.

The SONIClear™ tom suspension and floor tom feet increase overall resonance by preserving vibration in the shell and keeping stress away from the tension rods, helping the heads stay in tune.

The Classic Saturn Sound just got even better, the latest Mapex Saturn series shell packs blend time-honored maple/walnut shells with bleeding-edge shell tech borrowed for the Black Panther Design Lab, along with jaw-dropping finishes to please a wide range of drummer tastes. Each piece in this set has been molded to meet the needs of stage and studio professionals. You get thin 6-ply hybrid shells crowned with Mapex's precision SONIClear bearing edges, Remo USA heads, and Mapex Power Hoops to deliver splendid tone and tuneability from day one. You also get Mapex's advanced shell venting, suspension tom mounting, and floating SAS floor tom legs for excellent note length and projection. Factor in those iconic Saturn Series badges and lugs and it's a clear winner of a drum kit.

• 6-Ply maple/walnut shells: Classic Saturn sound utilizing the thin maple-walnut foundation, 4-ply maple on the outside for clear projection, and a core or 2-ply walnut for big deep darkness and resonance both of which pack strong attack and rich sustain
• SONIClear bearing edges: awesome tone and easier tuning, enough said really but the science is that this cut allows for the heads to sit a lot flatter on the bearing edge this results in better seating and stronger, deeper fundamental note, this widens the tuning range for players who like deeper toms and kick drums while producing purer musical pitches in higher registers

Hardware

• Mapex Power Hoops: steel 2.3mm triple-flanged Power Hoops give the shells some weight and durability to survive the battering they shall inevitably receive
• Air Flow Venting: the air vents are placed at the Nodal line with the lugs, as to not affect the resonance of the shells if they were placed in the center of the drum, this is borrowed from the Black Panther Design Lab. It gives each drum an open lively response and maximizes shell resonance
• SAS static floor tom legs: sound and vibrations work on the principle "The shortest path between two points is a straight line". Mapex SAS floor tom legs feature a sharp 90-degree angle to increase the distance from the floor to the shell. This allows more sustain from floor toms instead of the note being absorbed into the floor, even the rubber feet act as a spring, elevating the floor tom off the floor maximizing resonance
• SONIClear suspension mounts: these are low-profile mounts that prevent energy from the tom from being absorbed into the hardware and do not touch the tension rods in any way. this means the tom sustain never gets choked, heads stay in tune longer, and head changes are quicker with no need to remove shells from mounts

Configuration

• Bass Drum: 22" x 18"
• Rack Tom: 10" x 8"
• Rack Tom: 12" x 9"
• Floor Tom: 14" x 14” & 16" x 16”
