The Mapex Venus 22 5pc Drum Kit is an all-in-one setup for the first-time player. This kit includes a 22 x 16 bass drum, a 10 x 7 rack tom, a 12 x 8 rack tom, a 16 x 14 floor tom, and a 14 x 5 snare drum.
This configuration is outfitted with a complete set of hardware, cymbals, and a drum throne, making it the perfect kit for starting your drumming journey. Each of the shells feature a 100 percent poplar construction made with 9 plies of 7.2mm.
This construction provides a full warm sound that sits beautifully in any mix and provides an incredibly versatile tone – perfect for any drumming style. These shells are fitted with SONIClear bearing edges that produce rich tones from the toms, a robust crack from the snare drum, and a punchy low thump from the bass drum.
SONIClear bearing edges, Mapex’s unique bearing edge technology, ensures better contact between the drum head and shell. This increased head-to-shell contact improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance, as well as easier tuning. With a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, this bearing edge profile allows you to enjoy the sonic nuances of the wood blend.
A high-quality kit needs the hardware to match. Inspired by the style of B lugs from the Saturn Evolution Series, the new Mini B Lugs make tuning smooth and easy. This provides added consistency and reliability, allowing you to play for longer without having to retune your drums. This kit also includes the TH652 double tom holder, which offers easy positioning, multi-angle adjustment, and a user-friendly experience to get your toms set up quickly and securely.
The kit comes with Mapex’s own hammered brass cymbals. This pack includes a 14” hammered brass hi-hat pair and an 18” hammered brass crash/ride cymbal. These cymbals produce a warm cymbal sound with rich harmonics, fitting perfectly with most genres of music. Brass cymbals are a great starting place for beginners due to their versatile tone and exceptional durability.
The Mapex P410 Single Pedal is the ideal beginner kick pedal or an upgrade from a stock pedal. It features one of the most durable single-chain drives at this price point, guaranteeing an accurate and smooth kick response. With adjustable spurs, a reversible beater (plastic and hard felt) for quick tonal options, and a solid base plate, the P410 delivers consistent performance and great durability at an affordable price. It is ideal for younger players or beginners looking to make their first purchase.
The Mapex H410 Hi-Hat Stand is an ideal beginner hi-hat stand. It has double-braced legs for maximum support and stability, and a 3-tier design that provides easy adjustments and placement of your hats for maximum playability. The direct pull-chain drive mechanism creates a smooth and responsive feel at all tension settings. The tension can be adjusted using the variable tension adjustment, allowing you to find your own tension and response settings for comfort and exploring a range of techniques.
This Mapex hi-hat stand features multi-sustain top cymbal felts with a heavy-duty felt bottom cymbal seat to maintain the sustain of the cymbal sound. It is also fitted with slip-proof rubber feet and retractable floor spikes, providing exceptional stability and durability on all playing surfaces.
