Birch Build

The shells of this Mapex Mars kit are constructed from 6 plies of birch to deliver a shell thickness of 7.2mm for a good balance of durability and resonance.

Birch is characterised within drum building by its boosted high end, reduced midrange and brilliant low-end frequency response for an overall loud and cutting tone.

From the clear-cutting tone of the rack toms to the low thudding power of the floor toms and the deep bass punch of the kick drum, the Mars Rock kit delivers a brilliantly full sound to ensure you have the tone you need no matter the style you play.

Rack toms have a focused punch whilst the bass drum and floor toms have lower frequencies with delivered body.

Matching Snare Tone

The snare that lands with this kit in the same Nightwood finish match not only in looks but in complimented tone as well. A sharp crack with a balanced sustain. Perfect for a number of musical genres.

Soniclear Bearing Edge

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Mars shells. It lets the drumhead sit flatter and make more solid contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper sound. Plus tuning is easier and more consistent.

The SONIClear on the rack toms increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell whilst preventing energy from transferring to the hardware.

Mapex Mounts

The rack toms of the Mapex Mars Rock shell pack come complete with SONIClear Tom Suspension Mounts for easy placement and secure positioning of the rack toms over the bass drum.

The tom suspension mount has been specifically designed to avoid having to drill into the tom shells, which can negatively impact their tone.

Instead the mount works with the drums, instead of against them, to deliver increased overall resonance and stable tom placement without interfering with shell vibration.

The mount also distributes 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.
