Which Sonor AQ2 shell pack should I buy?

Choose the Sonor AQ2 20 5pc Shell Pack if you want a five-piece setup, or consider the AQ2 Safari 4pc if you need fewer pieces and a lower starting cost. Check the included drums and sizes before deciding.
The AQ2 20 5pc Shell Pack in Transparent Black has a supplied best new price of £1,495, while the AQ2 Safari 4pc in White Pearl is £873. Start with the configuration you actually need rather than assuming more pieces make a better buy.
Neither listing here gives a complete breakdown of drum sizes or included accessories. Before buying, confirm exactly what comes in the box, particularly whether a snare, stands, pedals and cymbals need budgeting for separately.
If you need those extras, the listed Sonor options include the AQ2 14 x 6 Maple Snare Drum in Maple Brown Fade and the 2000 Series Hi Hat Stand. My practical advice: compare the cost of your complete playable setup, not just the shell pack.
