Key Features

1 up 2 down for closer positioning of ride
Bass drum is free from tom mounts - delivers louder, rock-sound
Six-ply maple shells provide good low end punch that still cuts through
SONIClear bearing edge - increased contact for better tuning stability and resonance

Mapex Mars Birch 22'' 5pc Crossover Shell Pack, Sunflower Sparkle Overview

The Mapex Mars Birch 22" 5pc Crossover shell pack is a five-piece set of drum shells that is ideal for drummers who want a powerful rock sound from their playing. This kit is in a one up two down configuration, meaning that there is one rack tom and two-floor toms. The rack tom is designed to be attached to a cymbal hardware as there is no mounting on the bass drum. This allows for a more boomy bass drum as the resonance isn't affected by a mount. The single rack tom allows for closer positioning and easier access to your ride cymbal (cymbal not included in the shell pack).

As well as the rack tom and two floor toms, a 22" bass drum and 14" snare drum are included in this pack. All the drums have Remo drumheads for the best quality drum skins. This pack is made of maple, providing a warmer sound with less high frequencies than the birch Mars Crossover shells. The low-contact bass drum claws allow for the bass drum to produce sound with as little damping as possible. The included SONIClear bearing edges and SONIClear tom suspension are specially designed for Mapex drums and are engineered to provide the optimum sound from your kit.

Please note: This shell pack only contains drum shells, hardware is sold separately or is available in our bundles.

Six ply shells

The six-ply birch shells allow for a higher fundamental with a long sustain. The drums are responsive and project well, the rack toms have a bright tone with good punch and the lower frequency bass drum and floor toms are supported by strong frequencies across the spectrum.

SONIClear bearing edge

Mapex have modified the standard 45 degree bearing edge by shortening the inner edge and rounding the outer edge. This allows for a more flush contact with the head with more contact area. This makes tuning the drum easier and provides more stability in that tuning. The shell's resonance and tonal clarity is also enhanced with this bearing edge.

SONIClear tom suspension

This specially designed tom suspension from Mapex allows for the tom to stay in tune better thanks to tension being diverted away from the tension rods. The vibrations within the shell are also increased, allowing for better tonal quality.
