Custom-quality SQ2 Shells Without the Wait

With this preconfigured Sonor SQ2 maple shell pack from Sweetwater, your dream kit is just a click or call away. The SQ2 series represents the pinnacle of Sonor's more than 140 years of drum expertise. Its German-handcrafted SQ2 maple shells are some of the finest money can buy. Each shell comes crowned with precision 45-degree bearing edges and an eye-catching stratawood semi-gloss finish to elicit untold expression and beauty in a performance setting. Advanced features including tone-maximizing TAR tom mounts with Advanced Project System (APS) grommets, performance-stable TuneSafe lugs, and crisp, clean 2.3mm Power Hoops make the Sonor SQ2 series some of the best-recording, best-playing drums we've encountered. And with Sonor's AcoustiGate feature, tom sustain can be lengthened in seconds to suit virtually every song and style. Interested? Contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to learn how you can get your hands on this Sonor SQ2 maple shell pack.

Handcrafted maple shells

Maple is the gold standard for stage and studio drums. Sonor's SQ2 Series maple shells deliver warmth, cut, and balance across the entire audible tonal spectrum, with pronounced lows that ground you to every tom fill and kick flourish in your arsenal.

Precision 45-degree bearing edges

When Sonor engineered the first 45-degree bearing edge in 1975, they could have never predicted it would go on to shape the industry in such a dramatic way. The SQ2 proudly features precision 45s on top and bottom edges to maximize head response and sustain.

More than 140 years of drum-making expertise

Sonor's strength-enhancing Cross Lamination Tension Free (CLTF) shell construction and Optimum Shell Measurement (OSM) shell undersizing create a drum that is sonically and structurally superior to others in its class.

Tone-enhancing shell hardware

Sonor's SQ2 shells are free from rattle and tone leaching thanks to their Advanced Projection System (APS) grommets, which limit wood-on-metal contact. Meanwhile, 2.3mm Power Hoops deliver a fat, full attack and pull a wide dynamic range out of every shell.

Custom-response TAR tom mounts

Sonor's Total Acoustic Resonance (TAR) tom brackets suspend shells without rattling or inhibiting resonance. And for players who prefer a different tone for different environments, Sonor's AcoustiGate feature lets you control shell sustain in seconds.

Performance-stable TuneSafe lugs

Built into every SQ2 lug is the TuneSafe system. This prevents tension rods from vibrating loose through heavy use, even under low tension, to keep tuning rock solid between takes and in transit. Looking for the cream of the Sonor custom shop? You'll find it in this Sonor SQ2 maple shell pack from Sweetwater.

SQ2 Sonor Vintage maple

First of all let me say my dream drum set has finally arrived and it's the finest drum set I've ever owned in every aspect!! I own vintage Gretsch, Slingerland, and DW all are good they just have a different sound in which they should but these SQ2's are very special. I'm 56 years old and I've always wanted a set Sonor drums & through Sweetwater's amazing service & deals it finally happened. Ever since I was a teenager seeing the likes of the Amazing Steve Smith and the thunderous sounds he recorded w/Journey, and Legends like Bernard Purdy & Jack DeJohnette!! I purchased the vintage maple w/stratawood veneer gracing the outside of the shells, the sizes 10",12",14" floor tom w/a 20"x16" kick drums & I think the kick drum is one of my favorite drums in the whole set and so much fun to play. I grew up in the 70's & 80's when 24"/26" kick drums we're the norm.(Classic Rock) and I love the sound we get with them, BUT let me tell you this 20" kick drum has a monster of a sound and I'll say is very versatile in getting different tones/sounds out of it and I'm still playing the stock Sonor heads (very,very good quality made by remo) fiberskin for the resonator and the batter looks like a pinstripe, moving on to the toms…what can I say about the toms, they are wide open and very loud. Tuning all the drums are easy to tune with the lugs that Sonor puts on the SQ2 it's the best I've ever encountered. To sum it all up Im kepping them!!! Most of us have heard and some of us know about the top notch quality of drums that Sonor puts out from start to finish there amazing instruments. In the end if you get the opportunity to play a set of Sonor's or better yet buy a set of Sonor's do it..the only regret I have in getting this set I wish I had done it years ago.
