Timeless all-maple tone
Every shell in this 6-piece commemorative pack has been designed from the inside outward for traditional and authoritative playing tone. Constructed from 100% maple, the 150th Anniversary AQ2 includes seven robust plies of Canadian and Chinese maple for an unmistakable delivery of that classic and coveted drum tone. What do we mean exactly? Premier punch and power, cloaked in a warm sonic disposition and brought to life with incredibly lively and articulate responsiveness.
Furthermore, the extensive configuration of this shell pack provides you with a wider frequency range for a well-rounded and highly versatile drum kit that will handle heavy metal, jazz fusion, and everything in between. The cherry on top is a vertically set replica ebony veneer finished in a flawless high-gloss lacquer for inspiring curb appeal to complement its fantastic tone.


Prioritized for playability
The 150th Anniversary AQ2 shell pack sports its fair share of hardworking hardware to support its stellar sonic blueprint. Sonor's unique and TuneSafe-equipped die-cast lugs start it off with dependable intonation anchoring, while triple-flanged hoops crown the snare and each tom with optimal tuning flexibility in a lightweight package.
In addition, the rack toms ring out with full resonance courtesy of Sonor’s SmartMount suspension system, attaching to just two lugs for minimal hindrance of the shell’s natural sustain and positioning with total freedom via the included DTH-4000 double-tom holder. Complete with effortlessly adjustable floor tom legs, charming curved bass drum spurs, and exclusive 150th Anniversary badging, this commemorative AQ2 plays with incomparable personality.
