Mapex Mars Maple 18 4pc Bop Shell Pack w/Bag Set Natural Satin
The Mapex Mars Maple 18 4pc Bop Shell Pack is a small portable kit with shallow depth shells and smaller sizes – making it ideal for the gigging drummer who is limited on space. With a configuration of 18 x 14, 14 x 12, 10 x 7, and 14 x 5, the Bop shell pack is smaller than your average kit.

Like others in the Mars series, the Bop shell pack features 100 percent maple shells which provide all-around warmness and excellent projection. Ultimate tuning stability and resonance is provided by the SONIClear bearing edges, while the eye-catching Natural Satin finish will turn heads.

Finally, we have bundled this shell pack with the Protection Racket 18″ 4pc Jazz Drum Bag Set – so you can safely transport your drums. Please note that cymbals and hardware are sold separately.

The Bop kit stands out for its small compact size, making it easier to move around. This is ideal if you frequently transport your kit from your home to a separate practice area. Bop kits are perfect for gigging drummers as they are faster to set up, tear down, and fit inside a standard car. They are also ideal for smaller venues with limited stage space. Additionally, the shallow depth shells deliver a punchier sound, specifically designed for drummers who focus on a more jazz-specific playstyle.

Maple is a popular choice for drum shells worldwide due to its tonal versatility and all-around warmness compared to other woods. If you’re looking for a loud kit, maple is one of the louder woods for drum shells, perfect for live settings as it cuts through most acoustic mixes.

The Mars Drum Kits feature insulated bass drum claws with rubber gaskets to protect the hoop from damage and prevent rattling or buzzing during long playing sessions. The matching snare drum gives a unified look to the kit and provides a solid snare crack. The size of the snare drum allows for great tuning and musical versatility.

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Mars shells, allowing the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. This results in a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. The SONIClear on the rack toms increases overall resonance, preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell while preventing energy transferring to the hardware.
