Description
The Mapex 22″ Saturn Evolution Maple/Walnut 4-Piece Shell Pack – Tuscan Yellow pairs two quick rack toms with a 16″ floor tom and a 22″ x 16″ bass drum. The shallower depths trim excess decay and make the drums feel fast under the hands and foot, while the maple/walnut shell recipe keeps the note broad and musical. Chamber Specific Design changes shell thickness and bearing-edge geometry by drum size, helping the set feel connected from the first rack tom to the bass drum. In practice, the Halo mounts let you open up the rack-tom sustain or rein it in with the adjustment knob, which is handy when moving between lively stages and controlled recording rooms.
Shell Pack Configuration:
- 10″ x 7″ rack tom
- 12″ x 8″ rack tom
- 16″ x 14″ floor tom

- 8-ply, 8.9 mm maple/walnut bass drum shell
- Mapex SONIClear 45-degree bearing edges on the rack toms and floor toms for a clear attack and broad tuning response
- Mapex SONIClear 60-degree bearing edges on the bass drum for a strong fundamental and controlled head contact
- Chamber Specific Design adjusts shell thickness to suit each drum diameter
Hoops, Mounting and Hardware:
- Mapex Sonic Saver hoops on the rack toms and floor toms for a firm rimshot and clean head contact
- Halo under-lug-line suspension mounts with adjustable shell attenuation on the rack toms
- Two clamp-style tom holders for the rack toms
- SAS 90-degree floor tom legs with Sonic Pedestal feet to reduce vibration loss into the floor
- Two Air Flow vents on each tom and four Air Flow vents on the bass drum
- Virgin bass drum with no shell-mounted tom bracket and chrome shell hardware
Sound, Tuning and Gigging:
- The 22″ x 16″ maple/walnut bass drum balances low-end body with a quicker response than the deeper 18″ version
- Shallow 10″ and 12″ rack toms speak immediately and tune cleanly for punchy pop parts or open rock tones
- The 16″ x 14″ floor tom adds a broad low voice without slowing the kit down

The brand new Saturn Evolution Series features a full range of sizes and blends that push the classic Mapex sound to its full potential. Hybrid shells of Birch/Walnut and Maple/Walnut are lacquered in a stunning range of finishes.
The order of the ply blend in the Evolutions hybrid shell has been adjusted to move the Walnut element to the central of the bearing edge, bringing a warmer, slightly darker voice to the range.
Rack and Floor Toms up to 16” are Dual Vented on the nodal line, while BassDrums and 18” Floors are all Quad Vented to allow frequencies to be evenly distributed.
Floor Toms all feature the new 90 degree leg, a feature from the Design Lab range, with new gaskets and Sonic Pedestal feet allowing the shells to resonate freely.
The new Mapex Halo mount features on all Saturn Evolution toms, and provides freedom of full resonance. Using a lateral and unique “under lug-line” suspension system, this groundbreaking isolation mount, allows the shell to speak with an open, pure tone, without the stiffness usually associated with under hoop mounting systems.
