The Sonor Ascent series marks the revival of the famous Beech shell construction that has been a trademark of Sonor throughout the decades. Equipped with the latest features and technology, the Ascent series is the perfect symbiosis between the Select Force and ProLite series of Drum sets. Any player, any style will appreciate the timeless quality and tremendous sound. A feature taken from Sonor ’s premium line SQ2 is the black chrome hardware with certain finishes underscoring the timeless design of the Ascent series. Get electrified with quality and sound in perfection!

Sonor’s design team worked closely with some of the top Sonor artists to create the proper sound. The result of this collaboration are thin Beech shells for all bass drums and thick Beech shells for snare drums, tom toms and floor toms. The result is a full rich tone, powerful and clear. No matter where you play it, the woodshed, the recording studio or the stage, you’ll lay down a perfect performance in the Ascent series.
Sonor Ascent Beech Shell Design
The Beech shells deliver maximum strength, perfect curving and neutral tuning, due to the tension-free cross lamination of individual plies of wood (CLTF Cross Laminated Tension Free Process).

• 9 plies for tom toms, floor toms and snare drums = 8.75 mm
• 7 plies for bass drums = 6.35 mm
• Power Hoops – Clean Tuning and Crisp Attack!
• 2.3 mm Sonor Power Hoops on all tom toms and floor toms.
• 14" snare drums are equipped with die-cast hoops.
