Mapex MXSV628C-QL Saturn V MH Granite Sparkle

General

Many drummers from all over the world are familiar with Mapex's Saturn series of drum kits, and by launching the Saturn V series, Mapex shows that they've listened to their feedback. Most importantly, Mapex listened to their desire for SONIClear bearing edges - because why should those fantastic edges stay confined to the Mars and Armory kits?

Mapex Saturn V MH QL Granite Sparkle

Now that the hybrid Saturn V drum kit also has these fancy bearing edges, both its sound and its tuning range have been greatly improved due to the fact that the drumhead makes better contact with the shell.

This gorgeous shell set features a Granite Sparkle finish and consists of a 22 x 18" bass drum, 10 x 8" and 12 x 9" toms, and 14 x 14" and 16 x 16" floor toms. The 6-ply tom shells and the 8-ply bass drum shell are made of maple and walnut, a combination that ensures a bright sound with a nice balance of mids and lows. It's suitable for various genres, but has a slight inclination toward rock and fusion.

Toms

Besides the SONIClear bearing edges, the Mapex MXSV628C-QL Saturn V also features the SONIClear Tom Suspension system. As this system ensures minimal contact with the shells, the toms are free to resonate, resulting in vibrations that largely stay confined within the shells and drumheads themselves. Furthermore, two TH800 tom holders are included with the kit. The bass drum is fitted with isolating claw hooks and a rubber lining, reducing the chance of them damaging the hoops or coming loose and rattling as you play.

Please note:

• This shell set is supplied without hardware, snare drum, pedal and cymbals.
