Best of Both
By using the two most popular shell building woods Mapex have taken the best aspects of both to create a great well-rounded sound.
Consisting of a birch/maple/birch 6ply shell construction, the Mapex Studioease shells have a 7.2mm thickness for a good balance of durability and resonance.
The boosted high frequencies and low-end punch of the birch wood are complemented perfectly by the even highs and mids of the maple.
The robust, warm low-end response of maple combined with the punchy bottom end of birch serves to deliver a kit sound that has full, luscious, impactful bass tone.
SONIClear Bearing Edges
Mapex have developed their SONIClear bearing edge technology to allow the drumhead to sit flatter for improved contact between shell and head.
They believe this results in a stronger, deeper fundamental pitch, easier more consistent tuning and a significantly expanded tuning range.
The result is drums that are much quicker to tune and that stay in tune longer. This means you can spend far less time tuning and much more time drumming. Winner!
With regards to the Mapex Armory Studioease Fast it means the big tone delivered by the birch/maple shells is projected brilliantly thanks to the bearing edge.
The result is a drum kit with robust tone and powerful projection to deliver the ultimate tonal expression.
Shallow Shells
A welcome feature is shallower shell depths to deliver a quick, more attacking, responsive punch to the tone.
The rack toms are 1" shallower and the floor toms 2" shallower than the standard configuration.
These small shell depths serve to reduce sustain slightly for a more punchy, clipped tone that produces an overall faster sound.
Great for musical genres that require impact, the shorter shells work to produce powerful punch no matter how they are tuned.
Plus, the shells take up less space for easier placement when set up and a more compact pack down size.
Versatile Configuration
Modern drummers need to be more adaptable and versatile than ever before.
Often switching between a range of genres or playing music that blends different musical styles, drummers need a kit that can do it all.
Have a 2 up 2 down set up provides you with the flexibility to tailor make your drum kit configuration based on your needs.
If you’re playing a small jazz gig you may only needs a 1 up 1 down set up, whereas if you’re rocking out to some prog you might need the full range of tone offered by the full 2 up 2 down
configuration.Having the Mapex Armory Studioease Fast gives you the options you need to ensure you have every eventuality covered.
Resonant Mounting
This Mapex Armory drumkit features an undrilled 22 x 18” bass drum for improved resonance compared to kicks that are drilled for mounting toms.
The two rack toms are stand mounted and feature SONIClear tom suspension mounts.
The tom suspension mounts have been specifically designed to avoid having to drill into the drums.
Instead they work with the drum, instead of against it, to deliver increased overall resonance and stable tom placement without interfering with shell vibration.
The mounts also distribute weight to keep stress away from the tension rods which helps the heads to stay in tune.
The floor toms also feature SONIClear floor tom feet, again designed to aid shell resonance by reducing vibration transfer from the floor to the tom.
Tomahawk Snare
As if a 2 up 2 down configuration were not enough, the Mapex Armory also comes with the Mapex Tomahawk 14” x 5.5” snare included.
Featuring a 1mm black plated steel shell, the Mapex Tomahawk features rounded 45-degree SONIClear bearing edges to deliver penetrating attack, lots of projection and a super loud rimshot.
The snare is finished with tooled solid steel Armory tube lugs, 2.3mm chrome power hoops and a Piston Strainer for quick and easy snare setting adjustment.
This bright, focused, loud snare is the perfect accompaniment to the full warm tone of the Studioease kit.
