Description

We have a used SONOR SQ2 Series snare drum in stock, a 14x8 inch beach thin shell!

-SQ2 Drum System-
The SQ2 is a truly revolutionary design system that overturns conventional wisdom about drum design.
This is a fully customizable system that allows you to customize everything from the shell material to the finish and every single part, resulting in endless combinations.
This is by no means an exaggeration.
In addition, the hardware installed in the drums is simple yet equipped with many unique features to make it the best possible.
Improves overall acoustic performance, including improved sound, tuning retention, and sustain.
The ultimate drums created by SONOR's craftsmen, who have a history of drum manufacturing spanning over 140 years, will be truly original drums that will become lifelong ``friends.''

-Beech Thin Shell-
Beech wood is known for its warm, natural tone with an even balance of low, mid, and high frequencies. The Beech Thin Shell is made from German beech wood and is molded into a thin shell, just 5mm thick and 6-ply.
The thin shell responds well to sticking and provides a very rich and ample dynamic range, from delicate soft sounds to full shots.
This model has an 8-inch, ultra-deep body, and is attractive for its spaciousness, depth, and three-dimensional sound.
Despite its deep body, the snare responds sensitively and the sound is well-balanced, and the sound that beautifully reproduces the player's touch is truly SONOR's best.
The tuning range is wide, allowing you to create a variety of sounds while taking advantage of its depth, from a tight sound that retains a sense of air to a rock-style sound with a strong bottom, and the low-fat sound that has become popular in recent years.

-Optimum Shell Technology (OST)-
In 1975, SONOR was the first drum brand to introduce the 45° bearing edge for maximum resonance and sustain. For SONOR, developing the perfect drum is based on superior manufacturing processes that have evolved over the years.
Applying the best of German engineering since 1875, this ''Optimum Shell Technology'' process has been continuously optimized over the years, including methods and technologies such as OSM, CLTF and TAR.
Unique techniques, the way the wood is hand selected, the special way each drum shell is heated and pressed.
Many other details and our dedication go into creating the perfect SONOR drum.
The result is a shell with incredible durability.

-Advanced Projection System (APS)-
The patented Advanced Projection System prevents direct contact between wood and metal, supporting powerful SONOR sustain.

-Dual Glide System-
The Strainer's Dual Glide System ensures smooth, noiseless action, and the wire attachment block can be easily removed with a single touch, making it easy to replace the snare head.

-Tune Safe-
A patented system that prevents tension rod loosening ensures 100% tuning accuracy and maximizes tuning stability even in extreme environments.

-Craftsmanship-
SQ2 System Drums are the most complete, cutting-edge custom drums available. Crafted entirely by hand with expert craftsmanship, no two drums are alike.
