General

The Mars MA504S-CGW Fusion in Smokewood is a compact rock/fusion kit by Mapex. The Mars series has a few of the high-class components from the Saturn IV line of drum sets. This five-piece shell set consists of a 20-inch bass drum, 10 and 12-inch toms, a 14-inch floor tom and a matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum. It may have smaller toms, but it sounds massive nonetheless.

Mapex Mars MA504S-CGW 504 Fusion shell set Smokewood: birch

The shells of this five-piece shell set with its Smokewood finish are made of six plies of birch, for a perfectly focused sound, great resonance and a clear tone. The toms have a clear, punchy sound, while the bass drum and floor toms deliver a focused low end, with a great punch and plenty of body. The 20-inch bass drum is fitted with isolating claw hooks with a rubber lining. This lining protects the bass drum hoops from being damaged, and ensures that the hardware does not start rattling as you play. The SONIClear tom mounting system comes from the Saturn IV series of drums. This system makes minimal contact with the shell, resulting in maximum resonance.

Matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum

A notable part of this shell set is the matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum. With its versatile character, the snare produces a solid, distinct sound. The bearing edges of the shells in the Mars series are called SONIClear bearing edges. These allow the drumhead to make better contact with the shell, resulting in a more consistent tuning, an enhanced tuning range and a deeper sound. With its versatile, compact character, the Mars 504S Fusion shell set in Smokewood is the ideal kit for drummers who play rock, fusion or jazz music.
