Sonique Drums announces general availability of the aluminum body NATO-1XL.
In addition to the aluminum body availability, we have also addressed a feature gap with the NATO-1 mounting bracket where previously, the mounting holes were drilled through the bracket. Now we have introduced a stop so that longer mounting screws don't have a chance of interfering with the movement of the mechanism. It's another example of listening to our customers and responding with an improved experience for drummers everywhere.
Enjoyed and trusted by drummers on tour, in the studio, and in the club, the NATO-1 XL™ is an extended version of the original NATO-1™ that directly replaces over 50 throw off models from vintage to modern. With a dozen hole spacings from 3/8" to 1 11/16" to use, and an updated aesthetic to match the curvature of the drum shell, the performance, fit, and finish of the NATO-1 XL™ is un-matched in the industry.
OVERVIEW
- Expanded backward compatibility
- Improved design to fit the drum curvature
- Adjust & Play on-the-fly
- Simple Design & Silent Operation
- Compact & Durable
- Precision Machined
