Sonor AQ2 Stage

A 100% maple shell pack from Sonor with thin shells, 45-degree edges, and German engineering.

Sonor Shell pack

The AQ2 Stage is Sonor's intermediate maple shell pack, using thin 7-ply maple shells (5.8mm toms, 7.2mm bass) with 45-degree bearing edges and Sonor's Smart Mount suspension. The result is a resonant, warm, and articulate voice with the build quality Sonor is known for. The TuneSafe system helps the kit hold its tuning - a practical touch for gigging drummers.
