What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Tonally balanced Vintage Maple shells





Maple is the gold standard for live and studio drums. Sonor's SQ2 Series Vintage Maple shells promise warmth, cut, and balance across the entire audible tonal spectrum.





140-plus years of drum making expertise





Sonor's strength-enhancing Cross Lamination Tension Free (CLTF) shellmaking and Optimum Shell Measurement (OSM) undersizing create a drum that is sonically and structurally superior.





Tone-maximizing shell hardware





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





Custom-response T.A.R. tom mounts





Sonor's Total Acoustic Resonance (T.A.R.) tom brackets suspend shells without rattling or inhibiting their resonant potential. 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 your tuning rock solid between takes and in transport.
