      I have the Sonor AQ2 stage kit: 8-10-12 inch toms, 14 and 16 inch floor toms 22inch bass drum and all this sounds fantastic, except the snare drum, way to much " snare " changed drum heads several times but that snare stays like a marching snare. Tuned from very low till very high, but nothing that really sounds nice. I know, Sonor sounds different. I am very happy with the kit but I will change the snare drum, sounds like crap.

    Love my AQ2's. After going through 5 kits of Ok quality, I decided to take the advice of my local drum guru. 1) Find out what kind of wood sound you like. 2) Find out what kind of bearing edge sound you like. 3) Find a quality drum with a wide tuning range. 4) Find a company with that offers a lot of shell sizes so you can add pieces later. 5) Find a finish you like. 6) Find it in your price range.
    It was right about that time, (after playing through those 5 kits in the context of 3 1/2 years in a band) that I realized I love small drum and Sonor introduced the AQ2 line. I loved that they had moved the Safari/Martini/Bop up from SE...always loved those kits. But, the fact that everything was available a la carte in 7 ply maple with a 45 edge that sealed the deal. Later, I plan on getting the mystery AQ2 14x5.5 steel snare that doesn't come with a kit.
    Wishes: 1) That Sonor made the 20x12 bass of the SE Player kit available in AQ2. and 2) That along with the 14x5.5 steel snare, they made an aluminum and brass versions as well. Thanks again.

      Sorry but drilled bass drums for me any day of the week. Dosen't effect sound at all and it's such a classier look in my opinion. O and yes my Tama starclassic is drilled plus your toms have so much more stability on that style setup and you don't have to use so many damn stands unlike non drilled kits. It gives you more options for mounting cymbals if your bass drum is drilled so overall it's simple ergonomics, just so much extra room to work with if your setup is drilled bottom line✌

Using phones I can play my Jazz playing .if I buy a house ill get another Sonor and keep my Roland as well.

    Are these Remo Ambassadors? They sound really nice.. especially for the money. Wish they made a 13x9 rack tom and maybe an 18 floor as well. They do make a 13x12 floor tom (I had never heard of that sort of thing) I would prob do the 14 floor tom like in this vid.. Steve Smith is so good.

    • @bherward

      Usually a powerstroke 3 clear with remo dave weckl muffle on the inside batter side. Reso different from kit to kit. Usually something with muffle ring like a ps3 reso with a porthole. Steve likes his bassdrum with some tone. Not totally dead. He is a big jazz player so that influence is a factor.

    Its a 22" bassdrum and not a 20. You can see it on the amount of the bassdrum hoop screws. The 22" features 10× screws on each side, the 20" 8× screws on each side.
