All European Birch The Sonor SQ1 drum shell is crafted from 100 European Birch. This choice of wood is renowned for its exceptional sound characteristics making it a top choice for both studio recordings and live performances. The balanced mids pronounced lows and highs create a versatile drum sound that is highly sought after by drummers. After rigorous testing Sonor concluded that using pure Birch provides the most versatile and best-sounding drum possible. Cross Laminated Tension Free (C.L.T.F.) To create a drum shell that acts as a solid acoustic unity Sonor utilises cross-laminated plies of Birch. This construction technique ensures that the shell is perfectly round and offers excellent stability. Each ply is laminated at a 90° angle allowing the shell to remain tension-free. This means that even if the shell were cut in half from the batter to the resonant side it would still maintain its round shape. The result is a drum shell that delivers incredible sound quality and robustness. Optimum Shell Measurement (O.S.M.) Sonors OSM shell construction takes drum sound to the next level. By using slightly undersized shell diameters the drum head is granted the space it needs to float freely. This design enables unrestricted contact between the bearing edge and the drum head resulting in enhanced resonance and improved tonal quality. With OSM every note you play will ring out clearly and with precision. TuneSafe Say goodbye to constantly tuning your drums during a performance. With Sonors patented TuneSafe system your drums will stay perfectly in tune 100 of the time. This innovative system prevents tension rods from loosening providing maximum tuning stability even in extreme environments. So whether youre playing in the studio or rocking out on stage you can trust that your Sonor SQ1 14 x 5″ drum will maintain its pitch throughout your entire performance. Anatomy of a sound sustainer Sonor understands the importance of preserving the natural resonance and sustain of a drum. Thats why they designed the Sound Sustainer mount.
