Momentum Series - Maple

2025 sets an important milestone in SONOR’s 150-year history. It’s a year dedicated to the company’s legacy, past and tradition, but also the time to look towards innovation, evolution, and new creative horizons, as they are as much a part of SONOR’s tradition and DNA.

In 2025, we are thrilled to introduce our brand-new Made in Germany drum series: MOMENTUM.

This line combines the best of all our German-made drums, bringing together the most popular SONOR shell construction, shell materials and hardware features with fresh veneers, timeless wrap finishes and proven matte lacquer finishes.

Built on 150 years of craftsmanship and experience – and developed with a sharp eye on today’s market needs – MOMENTUM is our next step into the future of serially produced drums Made in Germany.

MOMENTUM marks more than a product launch – it’s a defining moment where tradition meets progress. A series that lays the foundation for our next chapter.

Available in maple, birch, or beech, the MOMENTUM shells feature SONOR’s most popular 9-ply (6mm) shell construction on all drums. Every wood type is available in an elegant semi gloss veneer, sleek matte lacquers or timeless high-quality Delmar wrap – designed to meet both visual and acoustic expectations.

The four available finishes – Red Pearl (wrap), Satin Pure White (matte lacquer), GT Black (matte lacquer), and California Burl (semi gloss veneer) – bring together favorites from past series with fresh, modern inspiration.

California Burl is a completely new finish, making its debut with the MOMENTUM series and launching exclusively with this kit.

When it comes to hardware, MOMENTUM combines the best of our proven innovations – including the acclaimed ProLite T.A.R. tom mounts and our advanced Sound Sustainer system, already known from the SQ1 series, on floor toms.

For all drums within the MOMENTUM Series, we rely on our most popular 9-ply, 6mm medium shell construction. Renowned for its sonic versatility, full-bodied tone and great projection, this shell responds to all playing styles, from the lightest touch to the most powerful stroke and everything in between.

To ensure that drummers of all styles can find a MOMENTUM kit that meets their sound preferences, all available drum types and sizes are offered in three different shell materials – each providing its distinctive acoustic qualities.

But there is even more to this. As all MOMENTUM shell materials are available in the same sizes and finishes, shell materials can be specifically chosen based on the player’s sound concept – be it as one homogeneous set or as a specific combination of different characteristics for each drum.

New "in-between" Drum Depths

All drums use new and innovative shell depths that fall in between the most popular conventional sizes. They combine two main advantages: even depth intervals and comfortable positioning.

1 Shell Construction, 3 Shell Materials

All drums use SONOR’s best-selling 9-ply (6mm) medium shell construction and are available in Beech, Birch and Maple.

All drums are offered in 4 finishes. These are the Red Pearl (#REP) wrap, California Burl (#CBU) semi gloss veneer, as well as GT Black (#GTB) and Satin Pure White (#SPW) matte lacquers.
