Key Features
The Mapex Saturn V Sub Wave 4 piece shell set combines punchy ''short stack'' toms with a cavernous 22x20 bass drum, making it perfect for those who want power and projection. The hybrid Maple/Walnut shells deliver a rich, resonant tone with excellent warmth and sustain, while the innovative SONIClear? bearing edge and mounts work to increase vibrations in the shell and heads, maximising the drums' volume and resonance.
Product Ref: 55480
The kick drum's 20'' depth provides it with booming, resonant bass frequencies, contrasting with the strong attack and short sustain of the fast 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms. The 16x14 floor tom offers plenty of focused and aggressive low end depth to compliment the powerful bass drum, making this the ideal kit for those looking for a big and bold sound. The hybrid Maple/Walnut shells come complete with black chrome hardware and a gorgeous exotic Cherry Mist Maple Burl finish, ensuring that this kit looks every bit as impressive as it sounds.
The shells feature Mapex's unique SONIClear™ bearing edge, which allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a drum with far greater resonance and tonal clarity, along with a deeper, more rounded tone. The SONIClear™ edge also allows for much easier tuning, and enables the drum to consistently stay in tune.
Complimenting the bearing edge are the innovative low-contact mounts. The bass drum claws and SONIClear™ tom suspension are designed to increase resonance by reducing contact and preserving vibration in the shell. The tom suspension also avoids touching the tension rods, allowing the heads to stay in tune for longer and making them easy to change.
The new bass drum spurs and TH800 tom arm mount both feature measure marks, enabling you to easily and accurately set them to your preferred settings, and the arm mount features a spring system which allows the clamp to be slipped over the tube with one quick move, without needing two hands.
Please note: This Mapex shell pack does not include cymbals, snare or hardware.
