What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


100% poplar shells for pure tone





Poplar has been a popular choice of drum manufacturers for decades for making economical, great-sounding instruments, and the Sonor AQX’s all-poplar shells are oozing with old school charm. Tonally similar to birch, poplar boasts a medium attack, with a pleasantly bright top end and a satisfying thump, which is ideal for a range of tunings.





Die-cast lugs and SmartMount system





The Sonor AQX Micro is outfitted with the same die-cast lugs found on other Sonor AQX series kits. These attractive lugs ensure tight, accurate tuning, as well as durability that will withstand the most rigorous of gigging schedules. Additionally, the Sonor AQX Micro comes equipped with the lug-contacting SmartMount tom and cymbal mounting system. This unique design prevents direct shell contact to maximize resonance and sustain.
