The Mapex Saturn Evolution Birch/Walnut 22 4pc Shell Pack is a drum set that includes a 22 bass drum, 10 rack tom, 12 rack tom, and a 16 floor tom. The shells are made from a hybrid of birch and walnut, combining the characteristics of both woods to produce dark, powerful, and dry tones. This shell pack is part of the flagship Mapex Saturn series, offering high-quality 6-ply to 8-ply shells that provide a wide range of sonic options. The toms are mounted using Mapex’s Halo suspension mounts, allowing for full resonance and open, pure tones. The shells have a stunning Brunswick green finish and are accompanied by chrome hardware, creating an eye-catching aesthetic.
The Mapex Saturn Evolution is the evolution of the popular Saturn series, designed to impress drummers of all levels. Whether you’re practicing at home or performing on a big stage, this drum set is sure to leave you amazed. The 10” and 12” rack toms have a bright sound thanks to the Halo suspension system, which lifts the drum and allows it to resonate with clear tones. The combination of birch and walnut in the construction of the shells ensures superior quality. Birch offers boosted high frequencies, a slightly reduced mid-range, and excellent low-end punch, while walnut provides balanced highs, mids, and lows with added warmth. The result is a rich and powerful sound with a solid attack.
Mapex’s shell construction technique ensures that each shell in the Saturn Evolution Shell Pack has its own unique voice and contributes to the overall tone of the set. Specific Shell Construction adds thickness to larger shells, and the depths of the shells vary with custom bearing edges, optimizing the tone and resonance of each drum. Mapex’s patented SONIClear bearing edge technology allows for increased head-to-shell contact, providing greater resonance, and offering an impressive tuning range.
The configuration of the shell pack is as follows: 22” x 18” bass drum, 10” x 8” rack tom, 12” x 9” rack tom, and 16” x 16” floor tom. The pack also includes two TH800 SONIClear Tom Holders. The Birch/Walnut hybrid shells, Halo mounts, and SONIClear bearing edges contribute to the powerful dark tones and full resonance of this drum set. The pack also features SAS lacquer finish, Sonic Pedestal feet for enhanced tonal resonance, and a stunning Brunswick green finish.
