Sonor AQ2: Maple shell with TuneSafe
All drums of the AQ2 Safari set are made of seven plies of maple. Three plies of Canadian maple are covered by two plies of Asian maple on the outside and two plies on the inside. This results in a warm and focused tone with a deep fundamental character and high dynamics. The Bass Drum measures 7.2 mm, toms and snare only 5.8 mm. This contributes significantly to the balanced and resonant sound. In addition, the individual layers are cross-glued at a 90° angle, the shell remains completely tension-free. The tuning pins are all equipped with the Sonor TuneSafe system. Also the exact 45° bearing edge allows easy tuning and perfect head contact and additionally focuses the sound.
Unique: Sonor Smart Mount
The Toms of the Sonor AQ2 series are suspended by means of the Smart Mount System. This new mounting system for drums was manufactured by Sonor in Germany and convinces with minimalist design and high functionality. The suspension has only two points of contact with the drum shell and allows it to vibrate freely and unhindered. A suspension rail is directly incorporated into the Sonor Smart Mount System and additionally provides a high-quality buffer made of hard rubber between shell and rail for pronounced resonance and balanced sustain.
Super sweet service, arrived in good timing for some festival shenanigans, took the kit out in an open field and she sounds delightful! Blessed and many thanks
