Mapex Armory 529S-RE 5-piece Rock shell set Cordovan Red
Product no: 9000-0011-1564 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With its diverse range of shell sizes, the Mapex Armory 529S Rock shell set in Cordovan Red is a versatile set for drummers who want to take on a variety of musical styles. The six-ply shells are made of maple and birch. The use of these two popular wood types provides this kit with its sublime tonal properties. This rock shell set consists of a 22-inch bass drum, 10 and 12-inch toms, a 16-inch floor tom and the Mapex Tomahawk 14 x 5.5 inch snare drum.

Mapex Armory 529S Rock shell set Cordovan Red : SONIClear bearing edges

The shells of the Armory 529S Rock shell set in Transparent Walnut have 45-degree SONIClear bearing edges. These make sure that the drumheads make better contact with the shells, optimising resonance, enhancing the sound and tuning range of the drums, and ensuring a consistent tuning. Furthermore, the SONIClear tom mounting system also contributes to the Armory 529S's excellent sound. This system makes minimal contact with the shells, resulting in an even better tom resonance. Besides the great sound, this kit also has a beautiful Cordovan Red finish and its shells are fitted with chrome hardware.

Tomahawk snare and virgin bass drum

Armory shell sets come with the 14 x 5.5-inch Mapex Tomahawk ARST4551CEB snare drum as standard. This snare drum with a 1mm thick shell has a large projection range and accurate response. This snare also has the SONIClear bearing edges, ensuring it produces a clear, loud tone. The bass drum in the Mapex Armory models is what you'd call a 'virgin bass drum', which means it does not have a tom mount. Instead, the shell set comes with tom clamps and tom arms, which allow you to attach your toms to your cymbal stands. This does not just provide you with more freedom to create the perfect set-up, but a virgin bass drum also has a more powerful low end. The Mapex Armory 529S Rock in Cordovan Red offers high quality for a reasonable price!
