What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Versatile sounding birch shells





With its 100% all-birch shell construction, the AQ1 Studio 5-piece Shell Pack offers an incredibly balanced sonic response from all registers. This even spread makes it the “utility-player” of tone woods, providing a great foundation for wide range of sounds, from the thunderous strike of metal to the casual touch of jazz. And featuring either a gorgeous high-gloss finish or a classic wrap finish, these shells look just as fabulous as they sound!





Hardworking hardware bundle included





Save for some cymbals and a throne, the AQ1 Studio supplies you with everything you need to start hitting the skins from day one! The 5-piece 2000 Series hardware pack includes a pair of sturdy cymbal stands for your ride and crash cymbals, as well as an adjustable snare stand and a basket. The hi-hat stand and drum pedal are both durable and chain driven, offering fantastic playing response and command at your feet.





One of Sonor’s most impressive updates is the Smart Mount tom mounting system. This design looks spectacular, and it functions just as well to improve performance sound. Its unique design optimizes the sustain of your toms, improving the overall resonance of your rack drums by drastically reducing the bulk of hardware attached to the shell. The DTH 2000 Double Tom Mount is included as well, providing you with plenty of playing preference flexibility.
