Overview

Not a complete kit with stands and cymbals, the Sonor AQ2 Safari is a four-piece shell pack that includes a snare. The AQ2 series builds its drums from maple, and adds a SmartMount isolation system and a newly designed cast lug.

Maple shell construction and the SmartMount design are the points to weigh, aimed at players building a kit around their own stands. The listing gives no diameters or depths and names no hardware, so confirm the exact configuration before ordering.

Who it's for

Players upgrading or rebuilding a kit from their own parts collection. Beginners expecting everything in the box should look at a complete package instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • All-maple shell construction
  • Isolation mounting system
  • Newly designed cast lugs
  • Snare included in the pack
Cons
  • No hardware or cymbals listed
  • Drum sizes not listed
  • Shorter coverage on finish and hoops

Performance notes

Maple shells give the pack its tonal character, and the layered ply construction adds stiffness to the drum wall. The isolation mounting is meant to let each drum resonate with less interference from the hardware holding it. Final sound depends on heads, tuning and the sizes in the configuration, which the listing does not state.
