Sonor · Models
Founded by Johannes Link in Weissenfels and rebuilt at Bad Berleburg after the war, Sonor is the oldest drum company still making drums. Its reputation rests on dense, thin beech and maple shells and on hardware heavy enough to be a running joke among drummers who move their own gear. The SQ2 system lets a buyer specify shell timber, thickness, and bearing edge drum by drum.

Sonor AQ1
Drum kit
The AQ1 is Sonor's entry point: birch shells, complete hardware, and the two configurations — a compact bop set and a full-size rock set — that cover most first kits.

Sonor AQ2
Drum kit
AQ2 puts thin maple shells, low-mass lugs, and Sonor's SmartMount tom suspension into an imported kit, and is the line most often recommended when a drummer wants the Sonor shell profile without the German price.
