Special in-store demo price! A gorgeous, brand new AQ2 Bop Shell Set from Sonor. 8x12" mounted tom, 13x14" floor tom, 14x18" kick drum, and 6x14" snare. Double shell mount includes tom arm and cymbal boom arm.
This is a Good Hands top pick for overall value for the price! It's rare that you find a drum kit at this price point that sounds and operates this well. We tuned it up into be-bop range, and the drums just sing. We tuned it low and fat, and (with a couple Moongels on the snare) the rich, full tone that we got was delightful. The hardware was easy to operate (though the thumb screws were a bit congested at the double mount) and held fast.
We love the AQ2 for:
- A beginner/intermediate player looking to be musically inspired beyond what typical entry-level kits can provide.
- A gigging musician looking for a kit that delivers well-above average tone and versatility, but won't need to be handled with kid gloves.
- A club looking for a backline kit that any player will be happy to sit behind.
From Sonor:
" Through German engineering, all maple shells, and our SmartMount tom mounting system you can sound like the pros with SONOR AQ2. Five standard configurations are offered, all featuring a 7-ply all maple shell construction. The drums share fittings and finishes, offering the flexibility to mix and match within AQ2. The minimalistic yet functional SmartMount tom mounting system has the true German design and engineering sprit: optimal sound sustain and quality with a minimal amount of hardware on the drum shell. AQ2 offers more value and more choices than any other instrument in its class. 100% Maple shells offer a mellow, warm and very balanced, full tone with low frequency punch and a balance of mids and highs. The Smart Mount suspension system maximizes the drums sustain. The cast lugs with TuneSafe and the high-quality shell hardware provide a professional feel. Four high-gloss lacquers, one Delmar wrap-finish and an almost unlimited choice of sizes allow everyone to configure the drum set they are looking for.
- Maple offers a mellow, warm and very balanced full tone providing low frequency punch and a mixed balance of mids and highs.
- Minimal, yet functional - The SmartMount tom suspension system offers solid performance and isolation between the drum and its mounting hardware. It attaches to only two lugs, without touching the shell, to maximize resonance and sustain.
- The new SONOR cast lug, used on all of the AQ-Series drums, was engineered in Germany with close attention to functionality, durability and design. It is assembled using multiple components and includes our TuneSafe system to prevent detuning of the drums."

Condition
Brand New
Brand New items are sold by an authorized dealer or original builder and include all original packaging. Products listed by authorized dealers that are unopened, new in box and are covered under the manufacturer’s original limited warranty.
B-Stock
Items that were opened and returned, have a cosmetic imperfection or were used as demo units in a shop. Many B-Stock items come with a limited manufacturer’s warranty.
Mint (Used)
Mint condition items are completely blemish-free and have not been modified in any way. If there are any blemishes and/or modifications, the item needs to be listed as a condition less than mint.
Excellent (Used)
Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care. When an item has been used, but only has minor cosmetic defects, this can be considered Excellent. Minor surface level scratches, such as fingerprints or stick marks from regular use, would qualify.
Very Good (Used)
Very Good describes items with more cosmetic imperfections than Excellent, but are still in great condition overall. There may be some scratches, finish dings, slight keyholing or light pitting, but nothing that affects the playability or function of the gear.
Good (Used)
Good condition includes items that are in fine working order, but have significant cosmetic imperfections. A cymbal with substantial fleabites, or an old snare drum with some surface rust on the lugs would be classified as Good. Items with dents, or corrosion qualify as Good as long as they are still playable and fully functional.
Fair (Used)
Fair condition items have various imperfections that impact the function of the item. Fair items aren’t broken, but have some minor functional issues. Examples of items in Fair condition are cymbals with repaired cracks, or a playable drum kit with several extra holes.
