The Mapex Mars Maple 18 4pc Bop Drum Kit 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-round warmness and excellent projection. Ultimate tuning stability and resonance are provided by the SONIClear bearing edges, while the eye-catching Midnight Blue finish will turn heads.
Finally, this kit comes complete with the Mapex Mars HP6005 Chrome 5-Piece Hardware Pack. Please note: Cymbals are sold separately.
The Bop kit’s small compact size sets it apart from other configurations from Mapex. This makes it easier to move around, which is ideal if you frequently move your kit from your home to a separate practice area. Bop kits are perfect for gigging drummers as they are faster to load-in, set-up, and tear-down. They should easily fit inside a standard car and are also ideal for smaller venues with limited stage space.
The shallow depth shells of the Bop kit deliver a punchier sound and are specifically designed for drummers who focus on a more jazz-specific play-style.
Maple is a popular choice for drum shells worldwide because of its tonal versatility and all-round warmness compared to other woods. If you’re looking for a loud kit, maple is one of the louder woods for drum shells, making it the perfect choice for live settings as it will cut through most acoustic mixes.
The Mars Drum Kits feature insulated bass drum claws that include 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 this kit and provides a solid snare crack. The size of the snare provides great tuning and musical versatility.
The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Mars shells and allows 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 by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell while preventing energy transfer to the hardware.
