What We Think

Using only the finest hand-picked wood selections from eco-friendly resources, precision metal components, and a superior lacquering process, the SQ2 series brings the best of everything that Sonor has to offer.

This thin Beech shell drum provides an unmistakably open sound and an enormously wide tuning range that you've come to know and love from Sonor. The straight shell design adds a bit more focus and projection when compared to the vintage shell design, but it doesn't sacrifice sensitivity. Beech provides a little more low end than maple as well as a little something extra in the mid-frequency range that helps this tonewood stand apart. When combined with Sonor's bearing edge technology, precision lugs, and the Dual-Glide strainer system, you'll find the SQ2 series of snare drums to be a new source of musical inspiration.
