Mapex Armory Series Red Onyx Burst 5Pcs Hybrid Shell Pack

Unleash Your Power: Mapex Armory – Hybrid Tone, Modern Attack.

The Mapex Armory Series is an exciting realization of Mapex’s hybrid shell concept, designed to deliver professional-grade tonal expression and features at an accessible price. This 5-piece “Rock” shell pack is built with 6-ply, 7.2mm Birch/Maple/Birch hybrid shells. The maple core provides familiar bite and sensitivity, while the birch inner and outer plies focus attack for a tight, modern, close-miked sound, effectively drying overtones.

A pivotal innovation is the SONIClear™ Bearing Edge, which allows drumheads to sit perfectly flat, producing a stronger, deeper fundamental pitch, effortless tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. Mapex further optimizes sound with varying inner bearing edge cuts: 45-degree for snares and mounted toms to increase attack, and 60-degree for floor toms and bass drums to emphasize low-end frequencies.

The “Studioease Fast” configuration includes a 22″x18″ bass drum for powerful low-end projection, 10″x7″ and 12″x8″ rack toms for quick response, and a 16″x14″ floor tom for articulate decay. This pack also includes a matching 14″x5.5″ Tomahawk Steel Snare, highly acclaimed for its penetrating cut, versatility, and powerful rimshots.

Advanced hardware features include the SONIClear™ Suspension System for rack toms and SONIClear™ Floor Tom Feet, both designed to maximize resonance by preserving shell vibration. Low-Contact/Insulated Bass Drum Claws protect hoops and prevent rattling. The shell pack includes two TH800 Soniclear Tom Holders for easy and stable tom angle adjustment. All components feature a sleek chrome finish, complementing the visually striking Redwood Burst finish.

Please Note: This is a shell pack only. Cymbals, cymbal stands, hi-hat stand, bass drum pedal, and drum throne are NOT included and must be purchased separately.
