Description

The Mapex 22″ Mars Birch Rock 5-Piece Shell Pack – Diamond Sparkle uses a classic two-up, one-down Rock layout with a deep 22″ bass drum and a matching 14″ x 6.5″ snare. Birch keeps the attack crisp and the decay controlled, so the toms stay clear in a busy band while the larger drums retain enough body to feel powerful. The 6-ply, 7.2 mm 100% birch shells keep the tone consistent across the set, while SONIClear bearing edges let each head sit flatter against the shell. In practice, that makes the kit quicker to tune and helps the fundamental come through clearly when the drums are miked or played in a lively room.

Shell Pack Configuration:
  • 10″ x 7″ rack tom
  • 12″ x 8″ rack tom
  • 16″ x 14″ floor tom
  • 22″ x 18″ bass drum
  • 14″ x 6.5″ matching snare drum
Shell Construction and Bearing Edges:
  • 6-ply, 7.2 mm 100% birch shells
  • Mapex SONIClear bearing edges for improved head-to-shell contact, a stronger fundamental and a broad tuning range
  • Matching birch snare drum included
Mounting, Hardware and Drumheads:
  • TH676 bass-drum-mounted double tom holder
  • SONIClear suspension mounts on both rack toms
  • Insulated bass drum claws with rubber gaskets to protect the hoops and prevent rattles
  • Chrome shell hardware
  • Remo UT clear heads fitted to the toms
  • Factory-fitted bass drum and snare heads
Sound, Tuning and Gigging:
  • The 10″ and 12″ rack toms have a bright, quick attack that keeps faster fills articulate
  • The 16″ x 14″ floor tom and 22″ x 18″ bass drum add a deeper fundamental without losing birch definition
  • The 14″ x 6.5″ birch snare has a firm crack, clear rimshots and enough depth for medium and lower tunings
  • A confident step-up kit for developing and intermediate drummers who are starting to rehearse, record and gig regularly
Finish:
  • Diamond Sparkle wrap with bright silver metallic fleck, paired with chrome hardware
Please Note:
  • 5-piece shell pack containing the listed bass drum, toms and matching snare drum
  • Cymbals, cymbal stands, snare stand, hi-hat stand, bass drum pedal and throne are not included
