Crafted from 100% European birch, the SQ1 delivers a rich, balanced tone with a powerful, modern attack that is versatile enough for any musical genre.

The drum is equipped with a Dual Glide System snare strainer, featuring a licensed Dunnett quick-release mechanism for effortless snare wire changes.
