SQ1 Series:
With the combination of the 100% Birch shell construction and SONOR’s latest invention, the “Sound Sustainer” mounting solution you can feel the difference. The Sound Sustainer extends sustain, produces a clean overtone spectrum and a clearly defined fundamental tone compared to traditional mounting methods.

SQ1 drum shells are made of 100% European Birch. Because of its sound characteristics - balanced in low, mid and high - the Birch drum sound is very popular for studio recordings as well as live performances. When developing SQ1, Sonor tested several combinations of Birch-based shell materials. Sonor's conclusion was that pure Birch provided the most versatile sounding drum.

Sonor's unique CLTF "Cross Lamination Tension Free" and OSM "Optimum Shell Measurement" process (slightly narrowed outside shell measurement) provide excellent sustain and easy tuning.

Hear the difference:
As a next step we wanted to find a drum mounting solution that would affect the resonance and sustain of a drum as little as possible while having a small footprint and great stability. Inspiration came from the automotive industry where vibration-control technology is used for engine mounting systems among others. What we developed was a unique concept of mounting toms and floor toms that ­integrates rubber insulation within the mount to avoid any shell-to-mount contact. Scientific re­search shows the considerable ­improvement in extended sustain compared to traditional mounting methods.
