Product Description
The Sonor AQ1 Birch Studio Set in Satin Black Bull is a versatile, gig ready acoustic drum kit built from 100 percent birch shells for a focused, modern sound. With a compact 20 inch bass drum, matching snare and a full set of hardware included, it is an ideal all in one solution for drummers who need a professional sounding kit for rehearsals, recording and live work.
Birch is prized for its balanced low, mid and high frequencies, giving the AQ1 a punchy attack, clear note definition and plenty of projection without losing warmth. Whether you are playing tight pop grooves, articulate funk or heavier rock, this configuration responds quickly and sits comfortably in any mix. Finished in sleek Satin Black Bull with a special AQ1 Limited Edition badge, it looks as sharp as it sounds.
The studio friendly 20×16 bass drum delivers a fast, controlled low end that works brilliantly on smaller stages and in tighter recording spaces, while still providing enough depth for bigger rooms. The 10 and 12 inch rack toms and 14 inch floor tom offer a wide tuning range, from tight and articulate to deep and resonant, so you can dial in your sound for any style. A matching 14 inch snare completes the setup with a crisp, cutting voice.
Supplied with the HS 2000 hardware bundle including the compact SS XS 2000 snare stand and DTH 2000 double tom holder, the AQ1 Studio Set gives you a solid platform straight out of the box. With its refined sound, practical configuration and understated satin finish, this kit is a superb choice for advancing players and working drummers alike. Please note, cymbals are not included.
All Birch Shell Construction
Constructed from 100 percent birch, the AQ1 shells deliver a balanced, versatile tone with a strong attack and controlled sustain. Birch naturally emphasises the attack of each stroke while keeping overtones in check, making this kit easy to tune and simple to capture in both live and studio situations.
Compact 20 Inch Studio Bass Drum
The 20×16 bass drum provides a focused, punchy low end that is ideal for modern recording and smaller venues. Its quicker response and tighter footprint make it easier to position around hardware and microphones, while still offering enough depth and power for a full band mix.
Complete AQ1 Studio Configuration
With 10×7 and 12×7 rack toms, a 14×13 floor tom and a 14×5.5 snare, the AQ1 Studio Set covers a wide range of musical styles. The shallow rack tom depths give a fast, articulate response, while the 14 inch floor tom adds low end weight, giving you a balanced spread of voices across the kit.
Included HS 2000 Hardware Bundle
The supplied HS 2000 hardware pack, including the SS XS 2000 and DTH 2000 double tom holder, ensures the kit is ready to play as soon as it is set up. Sturdy, roadworthy stands and mounts keep everything stable and secure, so you can focus on your playing with confidence.
