Our take on the Sonor AQ2 Martini Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack

The Sonor AQ2 Martini is a compact 4-piece shell pack with all-maple shells: a 14x13 bass drum, 8x7 rack tom, 13x12 floor tom and 12x5 snare. The small diameters give a tight, punchy voice that suits jazz, acoustic gigs and tight stages, and the maple shells keep it warm rather than boxy. The best new price is $929 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, with 4 stores selling it new. That is a mid-range price for an all-maple Sonor kit, so it sits in line with what the AQ2 line usually costs rather than at a clearance low.

Best forJazz and acoustic players who want a small, focused kitGigging drummers with limited stage or car spaceDrummers upgrading from a beginner kit to maple shellsHome players who need a quiet, low-volume setup
Pros
  • All-maple shells give a warm, musical tone at a compact size
  • Small diameters tune up fast and project with a tight punch
  • Includes tom holder and bass drum riser for a usable setup out of the box
  • Light and easy to move at about 25.65 kg for the pack
  • Sonor build quality and hardware on a mid-priced kit
Cons
  • No cymbals, snare stand, hi-hat stand or pedal included
  • 14-inch bass drum gives less low-end thump than a standard 20- or 22-inch
  • Compact sizes can feel cramped for rock or heavy hitters
  • The 12-inch snare is small and may not suit every style
  • Shell pack only, so the full setup cost adds up quickly

Questions and answers

Is the Sonor AQ2 Martini good for jazz?
Yes. The small diameters and maple shells give a tight, warm sound that suits jazz and acoustic gigs. It is less suited to loud rock.
What is included in the shell pack?
You get the 14x13 bass drum, 8x7 rack tom, 13x12 floor tom and 12x5 snare, plus a tom holder and bass drum riser. Cymbals, stands, pedal and throne are not included.
How does it compare to a standard-size AQ2 kit?
It uses the same maple shells but much smaller diameters, so it is lighter and easier to move. A standard AQ2 gives more low end and volume.
Is $929 a good price?
It is the best new price among 4 stores as of November 7, 2026, and sits in the normal range for an all-maple Sonor kit. Watch for bundle deals that add stands.
Can I use it for recording?
Yes. The compact sizes and controlled tone record cleanly, especially in small rooms. Close-mic the bass drum to make up for its shallow depth.

At Guitar Center, for $949.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Sonor AQ2 Martini Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack?
