This Sonor SQ2 is a special ordered kit for Steve that is his personal store demo SQ2 - check out our video demo! These drums are in like-new mint condition and are finished in a gorgeous "Traffic Yellow" high gloss, but we know what you're thinking - Tony Williams! We affectionately refer to this finish as Tony Williams Yellow around the shop. Built with maple shells and Protective Lacquer Semi Gloss interiors. 8x12", 14x14", 14x20" with serial numbers 10060421, 10060422, and 10060423. You can use Sonor's SQ2 configurator to plug in the serial numbers for their full specifications and original list price. See all the Sonor info below - we have many Sonor SQ2 outfits in many specifications here at Sonor Central in Chicagoland! STEVE’S NOTES: I absolutely LOVE this set and have enjoyed having it as my store demo kit for SQ2, but now it is time to let someone else enjoy it. The video tells the story here. A fabulous sounding kit and the ‘feel’ of the drums is incredible. Makes you want to play them forever!
MAPLE: North American Maple offers a mellow, warm and very balanced full tone providing low frequency punch and a mixed balance of mids and highs.
Handmade in GermanyWe know our drums will be played by drummers all over the world in a wide variety of musical settings. So we put all our expertise into making the best drums we can. It's just a personal thing.
CLTFDrum shells need to act as solid acoustic unities as the foundation for a great drum sound. We use cross-laminated plies to form a perfectly round shell with great stability. Each ply is laminated at a 90° angle to allow for a shell that is tension-free. Sonor's tension-free shells would keep their round shape even if they were cut in half from the batter to resonant side.
OSM
Our OSM shell construction (Optimum Shell Measurement) utilizes slightly undersized shell diameters to give the drum head the space to float freely, allowing unrestricted contact between the bearing edge and the drum head.
45° bearing edgeSonor SQ2 drum shells feature a 45° bearing edge, designed and introduced by us already in 1975, for maximum resonance and sustain.
Total Acoustic Resonance + AcoustiGate (TAR)
Enables vibration free mounting for a pure tone and maximum sustain with unmatched projection; AcoustiGate allows to fine-tune your sonic fingerprint by turning a dial.
