Mapex Saturn SR504XUQ Aqua Fade 4-Piece Shell Set
Product no: 9000-0095-0212 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

This 4-piece Mapex Saturn shell set in Aqua Fade comes in a fusion configuration, meaning the toms and kick drum are slightly smaller than standard. Knowing this, you'll be surprised at the depth and tonal richness this shell set is able to shape and, as Mapex claim, this shell set sounds "deeper than it should". The shells feature a hybrid construction and are made of a mix of walnut and maple, where the toms measure 10 x 7", 12 x 8" and 14 x 14" and are each made of six plies for a total thickness of 5.1mm, while the bass drum is a 20 x 16-inch model made of eight plies resulting in 7.5mm-thick walls.

Mapex Saturn SONIClear Attenuation System

So how does it actually sound? The maple and walnut hybrid shell design allows for a strong attack without sacrificing any depth, resulting in a rich-but-never-overwhelming sound with a genuinely all-around character. Depending on how you tune your kit, the shells can be used for fusion-based music, jazz-like styles and even hard rock. The shell is also supported by the SAS system, which stands for SONIClear Attenuation System and is what Mapex calls the collaboration' of the different bits of hardware fitted to the shells. This includes the SONIClear bearing edges, 90-degree floor tom legs and the special rubber feet - all designed to work together and maintain as much resonance as possible.

Air Flow Holes

What also adds to the sound and feel of this Mapex Saturn shell set are the Air Flow ventilation holes. To counter any negative effects on the resonance, each shell has its own well-thought-out 'chamber specific' cut-outs. The resulting air flow ensures optimal shell response and to put it simply, makes sure the shells play brilliantly. In addition to the shells, the set also includes a number of accessories such as Remo drum heads, two chrome-plated TH800 tom holders and 2.3mm chrome-plated Mapex Powerhoops.
