The Mapex Saturn 22″ 4-piece Shell Pack is a drum kit that offers exceptional drum sounds. Named after the Roman god of wealth, the Saturn Series is known for its unrivaled value. In 2020, this series has been improved and enhanced, providing a thrilling range of dynamics and tones.
The Saturn Series made a name for itself through its groundbreaking work on hybrid shell construction. These drums are true explorers of new drum galaxies. With a shell blend of maple and walnut, the Saturn Series is characterized by devastating attack and rumbling low-end.
Mapex has taken the already impressive Saturn shells and added features from their outstanding Black Panther Design Lab. The newly-incorporated SONIClear bearing edges and the brand new air ventilation system are like Saturn’s famous ring system. These additions make the Saturn Series complete and better than ever before.
The drum shells in the Saturn Series are made from a blend of maple and walnut. Maple is known for its tonal versatility and warmness, while walnut adds fast attack and dark tones. This fusion creates an electrifying combination that makes these drums perfect for any setting.
Mapex’s unique bearing edge technology, called SONIClear, ensures better contact between the drum head and the shell. This improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance and easier tuning. The SONIClear technology gives the Saturn Series shells a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, enhancing the sonic nuances of the wood blend.
Toms are treated as instruments in their own right, and Mapex’s SONIClear tom suspension system embodies this notion. The low-mass holders preserve the vibrations from the heads and shells, allowing them to resonate with greater freedom. This ensures that when you strike the Saturn Series toms, you’ll experience the best of their wide sonic range.
Mapex’s attention to detail is evident in their customised air flow system. The Chamber Specific-Nodal Line Air Flow Venting technology ensures that the bass drums and toms in the Saturn Series have unique air hole placement. These strategically positioned vents prevent interference with the overall resonance of the shells.
To further enhance the tonal resonance, Mapex’s Sonic Pedestal feet are used in combination with the TH800 SONIClear tom holders. The rubber feet prevent contact between the floor tom legs and the playing surface, while the elevated spring within the pedestal eliminates vibration transfer and maximizes resonance.
Every feature of the Mapex Saturn 22″ 4-piece Shell Pack has been meticulously designed and tested to empower your drums. The configuration of the kit includes a bass drum, two rack toms, and a floor tom. The shell material is maple/walnut, with six plies and triple-flanged 2.3mm power hoops. The hardware is chrome, and the finish is Scarlet Fade.
