The kit features Sonor’s popular 7-ply all maple shell construction (4 plies of Canadian maple, 3 plies of Chinese maple). The drums share fittings and finishes, offering the flexibility to mix and match within the whole AQ2 Series. The AQ2 Series drums come with newly designed shell hardware and a new tom mounting system: the SmartMount. This simple functional mount showcases that true German design and engineering spirit: optimal sound sustain with a minimal amount of hardware on the drum shell.
