In early 2025, SONOR kicked off its 150th Anniversary with the release of a legendary reimagining of high-end, special edition kits. But when you’ve been building the world’s finest drums for 150 years, one release just isn’t enough.
Now, SONOR proudly unveils the next chapter in the celebration: the 150th Anniversary AQ2 Shell Set, featuring a stunning Vertical Grain Ebony Replica Veneer. This special edition kit delivers premium SONOR features including 8-ply maple shells, die-cast AQ lugs with Tunesafe, and the SmartMount tom suspension system—all finished in a rich, high-gloss Vertical Grain Ebony veneer applied to each shell and bass drum hoop.
Each drum also sports a commemorative anniversary badge and custom 150th Anniversary logo drumheads, making every detail a tribute to SONOR’s legacy.
While limited to just 500 sets worldwide, the 150th Anniversary AQ2 Shell Set is designed to be accessible to drummers of all backgrounds—offering the perfect fusion of 150 years of drum making craftsmanship and focusing it into the most expressive and powerful of performances.
