The Mapex Armory LTD Edition shell pack features solid 6-ply, 7.2mm birch, and maple hybrid shells. These shells provide a rich, focused, and natural-sounding tone – perfect for a wide range of drumming styles and genres.
Birch is renowned for its high-pitched tone. It provides boosted high frequencies, a slightly reduced midrange, and a great low-end punch. Birch offers a loud and cutting tone, making it a brilliant wood choice for drums. Maple expands on this, bringing a whole new layer of tonal qualities to the table. Its all-purpose tone features an even amount of highs and mids with slightly warm low-frequency tones. When fused together, birch and maple create an extremely versatile tone, on any stage and in any studio, the Mapex Armory LTD Edition 6pc Shell Pack will prevail.
The drums feature polished chrome hardware, offering enhanced durability whilst complementing the Caribbean burst finish, resulting in a stylish and high-performing kit at a competitive price point.
The Mapex Armory LTD Edition Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with additional drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Mapex Armory LTD Edition Shell Pack offers a great learning experience for intermediate drummers, whilst offering the high-quality components and features which more advanced drummers require.
Mapex Armory Series Drums features advanced hybrid shell designs, blending birch and maple to create shells that deliver ultimate tonal expression alongside high-end performance. The drums are fitted with SONIClear(TM) bearing edges which allow them to sit flat, bringing out the best response by optimising the relationship between the heads and shells. Overall, Armory is a completely redesigned series compared to the previous Mapex series, featuring completely updated hardware: new shells, finishes, bearing edges, lugs and suspension mounts.
