MAPEX MA529SFBZW Mars Series 5 Piece Rock Drum Shell Pack, Zebrawood
The Mars Series Shell Packs offer shallow depth 100% Birch shells complete with the new SONI Clear and trade; Bearing Edge, which increases the contact between the drumhead and shell and allows the head to sit flat on the edge. The SONI Clear and trade; bearing edge produces a stronger and more centered pitch and makes the drums remarkably easy to tune. The drum manufacturing community hasn’t paid a lot of attention to the importance of bearing edges over the years. Specifically, players have had a difficult time tuning their drums and making them sound good because the apex of the edge is too far to the outside of the shell and they can’t get the drumhead to sit flat”, states Mike Robinson, Director of Marketing for KHS America. “That frustration, especially for players who are learning the art of tuning their drums, can lead to a lack of enjoyment and less time playing. The SONI Clear and trade; Bearing Edge solves those issues and enables players to get a great sound even without much tuning experience. This is a truly significant breakthrough that all our customers will benefit from. However, Mapex didn’t stop there. They’ve taken design innovations found on their premium line of Saturn IV drums and brought them into the mid-range to enhance the performance of this gig-quality series. The SONI Clear and trade; rack tom suspension system increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the shell and drumheads and preventing the loss of energy that can make drums sound choked.

Great Set – Good Job Mapex! Very well packaged. Bought this mid-level kit for our son. I’ve been a drummer for over 25yrs and always played Mapex. This is an awesome 5 peice! Beautiful craftsmanship, very, very easy to tune right out of the box. There is set-up required, and you have to know what you are doing to put this together, but, even if you don’t, they are almost perfectly tuned to begin with, and this was in cold weather! So – always love Mapex, our son is happy, and we are happy as we look to complete this drum…
Pretty good for the price… Bad snare drum đ Quality is good at best. Snare drum is really cheap and I don’t use it. The toms are pretty nice. Love the finish. Bass drum hoops seem like they may break easily. I give it 4 stars because its pretty good for the price. I put some some good heads on it and got a good tune and its perfect for home practice or for shows if your on a budget.One more comment on the snare drum. If you do use it and want it to sound good you may want to replace the snare strand. Mine were so poorly made…
Best kit yet.
