The Mapex Saturn Evolution Birch/Walnut 22 4pc Shell Pack is the solution to finding the perfect sound you’ve been looking for. This shell pack includes a 22″ bass drum, 10″ rack tom, 12″ rack tom, and a 16″ floor tom. The shells are constructed from a hybrid of birch and walnut, which combines the characteristics of both woods to create dark, powerful, and dry tones.
The Mapex Saturn Evolution Birch/Walnut Shell Pack is a flagship drum series that offers high-quality 6-ply to 8-ply shells, providing a wide range of sonic possibilities that can cut through any mix. The toms are mounted using Mapex’s revolutionary Halo suspension mounts, which allow for full resonance and pure tones. The gun metal grey finish and black brushed chrome hardware add an eye-catching aesthetic that is perfect for the stage.
The Saturn series has evolved into something truly amazing with the Mapex Saturn Evolution. It is suitable for drummers of all levels, whether you’re playing at home or on a big stage. The 10″ and 12″ rack toms produce bright and clear tones thanks to the Halo suspension system. This mounting system lifts the drum to allow it to resonate freely, resulting in pure tones.
The combination of birch and walnut in the shell construction provides superior quality. Birch wood offers boosted high frequencies, a slightly reduced mid-range, and excellent low-end punch. Walnut provides equal levels of highs, mids, and lows, along with added warmth. The blend of these two woods creates uncompromising sounds with warmth, richness, and solid attack.
Mapex’s Specific Shell Construction ensures that each shell in the Mapex Saturn Evolution Shell Pack has its own unique voice, contributing to the overall tone. This is achieved by adding thickness to larger shells and customizing bearing edges to optimize the tone and resonance of each drum. Mapex’s patented SONIClear bearing edges allow for increased head-to-shell contact, resulting in greater resonance and an impressive tuning range.
The pack configuration includes a 22″ x 18″ bass drum, 10″ x 8″ rack tom, 12″ x 9″ rack tom, 16″ x 16″ floor tom, and 2x TH800 SONIClear Tom Holders. The pack also features birch/walnut hybrid shells, Halo mounts for full resonance, SONIClear bearing edges for a deeper pitch, adjustment knobs for pre-EQing your sound, SAS lacquer finish, and Sonic Pedestal feet for enhanced tonal resonance. The gun metal grey finish adds a stunning aesthetic to the kit.
In terms of specifications, the shell material is birch/walnut, and the shell construction varies from 6-ply 5.8mm for the 10″ tom to 8-ply 8.2mm for the bass drum.
