Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The New Optimount Aluminium aligns with Sonor's philosophy of "no compromise" hardware: equipment designed to last and to allow the shell to vibrate to the fullest. Its factory installation on prestigious series such as Masterworks, Référence, and Masters Premium clearly places it in the professional segment.
Who This Suspension System Is For
This system is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers who want to optimize the stability and hold of their toms while maintaining maximum sonic openness. Ideal in rock, pop, fusion, metal, or studio contexts, wherever reliable mounting and consistent shell response are sought.
Features and Innovations
The aluminium version of the New Optimount offers an excellent balance between rigidity and lightness for precise suspension. The mounting distributes support points to reduce mechanical damping, improving playing comfort, tuning stability, and consistency across multiple toms in the same kit.
Sound Characteristics
By reducing the stress applied to the shell, an Optimount-type suspension promotes a more "open" sound: more natural sustain, clearer projection, and less constrained attack. This is especially appreciated on sensitive toms, where every detail of resonance and dynamics matters, both at low volume and with strong strikes.
