Ascent Series Sounds
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 take it, the woodshed, the recording studio or the stage, you’ll lay down a perfect performance with the Ascent Series.
