Mapex Mars Maple 18 4pc Bop Shell Pack w/Bag Set Matte Black
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-round warmth and excellent projection.

Ultimate tuning stability and resonance is provided by the SONIClear bearing edges, while the eye-catching Matte Black 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: Cymbals and hardware sold separately.

The Bop kit stands apart from other configurations from Mapex due to its small compact size. This makes it easier to move around, which is ideal for drummers who frequently move their kit from home to a separate practice area. Bop kits are perfect for gigging drummers as they are quicker to load-in, set-up, and tear-down, and should easily fit inside a standard car. They are also ideal for smaller venues with limited stage space.

Furthermore, the shallow depth shells deliver a punchier sound and are 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 overall warmth compared to other woods. If you prefer a loud kit, maple is one of the best woods for drum shells as it cuts through most acoustic mixes in live settings.

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 delivers a solid snare crack. The snare size allows for 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.
