General

This Mapex Meridian Birch tom is made of six plies of birch and is 7.2 mm thick. Birch has been used to make drums for ages now, and it is known as being almost a natural EQ which has a nice balance between low and high end frequencies. It gives your drums a bit of a brighter sound with a slightly shorter tone decay. This Meridian Birch-series tom has a number of high-end features that help it achieve its impressively deep and rich sound.

Mapex Meridian Birch tom 8 x 7 inches Cherry Mist: features

This 8 x 7-inch tom has special lugs that make minimal contact with the shell. These single-point-of-contact lugs, as Mapex calls them, allow the shell to resonate freely, enhancing its sound. Furthermore, the tom is fitted with Mapex's Isolated Tom Mount System, which allows the toms to resonate freely, and containing the vibrations within the tom itself. This enhances the sound and gives it a bit more sustain.

Finally, the beautiful finish is worth mentioning. All lacquer finishes in the Meridian series are applied by hand, and this Cherry Mist finish really is the cherry on the cake!
