The Mapex Saturn 22″ 5pc Short Stack Shell Pack Teal Blue Fade is a drum set that lives up to its name. It offers incredible value and a wide range of tones, dynamics, and musical complexities. The drum shells are made from a hybrid of Maple and Walnut, which allows for precise defined attack and a rumbling low-end sound. The Mapex Black Panther Design Lab features, such as the SONIClear bearing edges and the air ventilation system, enhance the drum’s tonal quality and practicality. Please note that hardware, snare drum, cymbals, and accessories are sold separately.
The combination of Maple and Walnut in the Saturn Series drum shells creates a dynamic blend. Maple is known for its tonal versatility and warm sound, while Walnut adds fast attack and dark tones. This fusion makes the drums suitable for any style, technique, or venue. The newly-added SONIClear bearing edges increase contact between the drum head and shell, improving shell vibration and resonance. The bearing edge profile enhances the fundamental pitch and allows you to appreciate the unique sonic qualities of the wood blend.
Mapex’s SONIClear tom suspension features low-mass holders that free the toms from tight clamping, allowing for greater resonance and musicality. The drums resonate with freedom and offer a wide sonic range. The Chamber Specific-Nodal Line Air Flow Venting technology ensures that each bass drum and tom in the Saturn Series has custom air hole placement. These vents are strategically positioned to prevent interference with the overall resonance of the shells.
To further enhance tonal resonance, the Saturn Series drums feature TH800 SONIClear tom holders and Sonic Pedestal feet. The tom holders and rubber feet eliminate vibration transfer and maximize resonance. The steel legs rest on an elevated spring within the pedestal, preventing contact between the floor tom legs and the playing surface.
The drum set configuration includes a 22″ x 18″ bass drum, 10″ x 7″ rack tom, 12″ x 8″ rack tom, 14″ x 12″ floor tom, and 16″ x 14″ floor tom. The shells consist of Maple and Walnut with 6 plies and SONIClear bearing edges. The drums are finished in Teal Blue Fade and feature chrome hardware. The product code for this drum set is SR628XU-RJ.
