Mapex 4pc Saturn V MH Exotic Fusion Shell Pack Natural Maple  From Mapex

This 2 up and 1 down shell pack with 20” bass drum finds the balance between versatility and practicality. It can be tuned in a wide range, whether up high for jazz and fusion or down deep for rock-n-roll. The unique Maple and Walnut shell composition coupled with the SONIClear™ bearing edge results in clear and focused toms and a bass drum that sounds bigger than its size would suggest.

What We Think

The Mapex Drum Company has taken the next step in the evolution of professional drum sets, Saturn V.  Adding the SONIClear bearing edge to these drums clearly enhances the unmistakable sound and increases the tuning range of the Saturn’s Maple and Walnut hybrid shell.    This new bearing edge eliminates the age-old problem of rack toms not resonating to their full potential after they're mounted on a stand.  The tom holder also dramatically increases sustain and fullness of tone by preserving vibration in the head and shell and preventing energy transfer to the hardware. The Saturn V features Mapex 6-Ply snares and toms, and 8-ply bass drums constructed of North American maple and walnut hybrid shells. These shells are crowned with Remo Emperor clear batter drumheads, and Remo P3 Batter bass drumheads so they will be ready to rock right out of the box.  You may have a hard time deciding on your favorite finish. And even if you can, you may not be sure whether you want to play them…or just stare at them.

 

Manufacturer's Description from Mapex

The new Mapex' Saturn V Drum Kits  are the defined by perfection, performance and professionalism. The Saturn shell is a very popular choice for a large number of pro drummers around the world and now, featuring the well-known SONIClear Bearing Edge Technology, these drum kits are of an unparalleled quality and performance. The SONIClear Bearing Edge allows the head to make better contact with the shell and provides a stronger fundamental pitch and an enhanced tuning range and can be found on any Saturn V shells.

  • This fusion style set-up featuring standard depth 10”, 12” and 14” toms can be tuned high for jazz and fusion or low for rock and pop. The 20x16” bass drum is great for portability and allows rack toms to be positioned lower, but still has the power and punch needed for a big sound.
  • The Maple and Walnut hybrid shell produces a strong attack and a rich tone that projects well in live settings and tracks perfectly in the studio. It’s the classic Saturn sound.
  • The SONIClear™ bearing edge simplifies the tuning process and enhances tone and tuning range.

Mapex SONIClearâ„¢ DEMO

Mapex wants drummers to spend less time tuning and be able to play more. The result of that mission is the latest innovation from Mapex: The SONIClear™ bearing edge, which allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range.
