New Sonar Force 2001 Entry Level Drums

January 29, 1998 -- HSS, a Division of Hohner, is introducing a new Sonor drum series at NAMM '98. The new Force 2001 series, is designed for entry level players. Force 2001 combines German design with features in demand in the global market including economical pricing and proven quality. The new Force 2001 Series includes the best features of the popular Force Maple and Force 3000 series -- bass drum spurs, long lug high tension casing -- with affordable pricing. The 2001 Series is available in three configurations: Stage, Studio and Fusion in black, wine red and ocean blue.

"Force 2001 offers unmatched economy and quality. Even though these kits are affordably priced, they offer the same qualities of the Force Maple and Force 3000," noted Rusty Martin, Sonor Product Manager/Artist Relations. "The double braced hardware has the same features as the popular 3000 Series. These are world class Sonor drums for a fraction of the cost."

The 9-ply mahogany shell of the bass drum offers a warm full traditional sound. Calibrated bass drum spurs ensure stability; full classic t-rods allow easy finger tuning. The bass drum hoop is black powder coated with color inlay added for a touch of class.

The toms in the Force 2001 Series are six ply mahogany shells which produce a warm traditional sound. Full length high tension lug casings offer tuning stability. The snare drum has eight chrome lugs with adjustable strainer. All tom and snare drum tension rods are traditional so that tuning can be accomplished with a standard drum key. The lightweight hardware on the Force 2001 Series makes these kits easy to transport and is double braced for strength and durability.
