• 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.

This is complemented by the 45° bearing edge which minimises contact between the head & drum, bringing a modern & versatile sound to the shells.

A classic standard size, the AQ2 Bop shell pack makes an excellent choice for any players looking to play an authentic small shell kit on a relative budget. The 18 x 14” maple bass drum speaks volumes compared to its size, giving the shell pack a deep edge whilst maintaining portability.

The 7ply maple shell construction provides a mellow, warm and balanced full-tone to suit various playing styles, whilst the low-frequency punch and mixed mids and highs allow this kit to be heard through the mix. The stain black finish combined with the chrome hardware gives this kit a classy, versatile look that will complement any playing setup.

Minimal contact Mounting system showcases maple shells

This Sonor kit comes complete with a SmartMount mounting system, the purpose of this contact-free system is to offer no direct metal-to-wood contact delivering a full-bodied sound. The mounting system works on a bridge-type system fixing to tom lugs around the drum shell, reducing the kit footprint and eliminating unnecessary hardware. This also allows for the toms to fully resonate - showcasing the sound of the maple shells.

Tunesafe lugs retain pristine tuning throughout use

The tunesafe feature on the side of each drum lug is a clever feature to prevent any unwanted de-tuning of your kit, retaining the tuning you require throughout use and no matter how heavy you play. This feature is great for any gigging drummer looking for a gig-ready kit, with a minimum of fuss and maintenance. Similarly, the triple-flanged hoops on each of the three drums in this shell pack allow the drums to ring freely, providing an open drum tone.

Incredibly lightweight the shells of this kit can be easily transported, making setting up and packing down much easier. Similarly, the included bass drum mount reduces the need for bulky stands to mount your toms, easily attaching to the bass drum and providing optimum support to the tom itself.
