The all-birch shells of Mapex Mars kits benefit from the Mapex SONIClear bearing edge technology that features on Mapex’s higher end drum kits. SONIClear bearing edges increase contact between the head and shell resulting in a truer fundamental pitch and easier tuning. Birch has always been a popular wood for drum makers with its naturally EQ’d sound with a focus on low end and attack. These drums offer a powerful modern sound and some drummers might never find themselves looking to spend anymore.

This Crossover shell pack features a 22″ bass drum and a 1 up 2 down configuration that is ideal for players who want a powerful rock sound, with a single rack tom for closer positioning of their ride cymbal. It is finished in a durable Sunflower Sparkle wrap.
