Overview

A maple shell pack with rich tone and stunning ebony veneer.

This isn't just a nod to history—it's a full-volume tribute. The SONOR AQ2 150th Anniversary high-gloss ebony veneer shell pack is a stunning celebration of SONOR's 150-year legacy, combining premium craftsmanship with refined tonal performance. Crafted from 8-ply maple shells, this limited-edition kit blends four plies of North American maple, three plies of Chinese maple and a striking outer ply of ebony replica veneer. The high-gloss lacquer finish enhances the vertical grain pattern of the ebony veneer, creating a visually captivating and sonically resonant drum set. Featuring exclusive 150th Anniversary badges and a custom bass drum head, this shell pack exudes sophistication and rarity while delivering the focused, rich tones maple is renowned for. Designed with SONOR's AQ-series hardware, this drum kit offers both exceptional sound and robust functionality for demanding players.

Premium Maple Shells for Rich Tonal Clarity

Maple drums are a classic for a reason—and SONOR takes it up a notch here. By combining four plies of North American maple with three plies of Chinese maple and a final ply of ebony replica veneer, SONOR creates a shell that enhances both low-end warmth and high-end brightness. The 7.2 mm bass drum shell and 5.8 mm tom and snare shells ensure a dynamic response across all components, allowing drummers to articulate subtle ghost notes or powerful accents with precision. This unique construction provides a tonal foundation ideal for both live performances and recording sessions.

High-Gloss Ebony Veneer for Stunning Visual Appeal

This kit doesn't just sound elevated—it looks it too. SONOR's meticulous attention to detail shines in the high-gloss lacquer finish of this shell pack, which highlights the vertical grain of the ebony replica veneer. This visually striking outer ply adds an air of luxury to the kit while contributing to its tonal resonance by allowing the shells to vibrate freely. The bass drum hoops are also finished in matching ebony veneer, creating a cohesive and elegant aesthetic. Whether under stage lights or in the studio, the high-gloss finish ensures this kit is as visually captivating as its sound is refined.

Innovative Hardware Features for Enhanced Playability

Every detail here is built for performance you can count on. The AQ2 shell pack includes SONOR's trusted AQ-series hardware, ensuring a seamless playing experience. The die-cast lugs with TuneSafe technology prevent detuning during extended performances, while the SMART Mount tom suspension system minimizes shell contact for enhanced sustain and resonance. The DTH 4000 double tom holder provides secure positioning and effortless adjustability, making setup quick and reliable. These hardware innovations ensure that the focus remains on your performance, with consistent tuning and maximum tonal clarity throughout every session.

Exclusive 150th Anniversary Details for Collectors

This is more than a shell pack—it's a piece of SONOR history. This limited-edition kit is adorned with special design elements to commemorate SONOR's 150th anniversary. Exclusive embossed badges on each drum celebrate the brand's rich history, while the bass drum features a custom logo head, adding a touch of distinction to the instrument's visual presentation. These collector-specific details not only enhance the aesthetic value of the kit but also make it a unique addition to any drummer's collection. Combined with SONOR's renowned build quality, this shell pack represents a perfect fusion of heritage and innovation.
