What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


The power of maple at your disposal





Maple snares pair perfectly with practically any drummer and musical style. The Sonor SQ2 Maple Snare Drum utilizes the company’s CLTF (Cross Laminated and Tension Free) construction. Each maple layer is oriented at a 90-degree angle from the next for a perfectly round and exceptionally stable shape. Sonor’s advanced manufacturing techniques help this maple snare drum deliver the warmth and cut needed to handle anything with a well-balanced response across the entire frequency range. Add in the 8 x 2 split brass snare wires, and this snare instantly becomes a recipe for sonic success.





Perfectly sized shells





The SQ2 Maple Snare Drum takes advantage of Sonor’s OSM (Optimum Shell Measurement) shell construction technique. OSM shells are slightly undersized, allowing the drumhead to float freely. This enables maximum contact between the head and the bearing edge. And with the snare’s 45-degree bearing edge, this drum shell delivers outstanding resonance and sustain that’s perfectly suited to all playing styles.





SQ2: custom quality without the wait





Sonor’s SQ2 series shells bring custom shop sound and build quality to the masses without the long wait of one-off shops. SQ2 shells are crafted by hand in Sonor’s Germany workshop and leverage the company’s 140-plus years of drum building expertise. Each shell comes equipped with 45-degree bearing edges, an eye-catching finish, and advanced features to optimize performance. Sonor SQ2 series shells are some of the finest money can buy, and Sweetwater is proud to offer them to you.
