Our take on the Sonor AQ2 Stage Maple 5-Piece Shell Pack

The Sonor AQ2 Stage Maple is an all-maple acoustic shell pack with a 22-inch bass drum, two rack toms, a floor tom and a snare. Maple shells give it a warm, full tone with a controlled attack that suits rock, pop and cover-band work. The Stage configuration is the larger of the AQ2 sizes, aimed at drummers who want a big bass drum and a standard five-piece layout. As of November 7, 2026, the best new price is $1,449 at Guitar Center, with four stores listing it new.

It is a shell pack: five drums only. You need to add cymbals, stands, a bass pedal, a hi-hat stand and a throne to play it.

A 22-inch bass drum, two rack toms, one floor tom and a snare drum. Exact tom sizes follow Sonor's Stage spec for this model.
