General

The Mapex Mars MA528S-BAW 528 Crossover shell set is a 1-up, 2-down configuration with a Bloodwood finish. The Mars series has a few of the high-class components from the Saturn IV line of drum sets. This shell set consists of a 22-inch bass drum, 12-inch tom, 14 and 16-inch floor toms and a matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare. This Mapex Mars crossover shell set, with its single tom, is excellently suited for the rock drummer who wants a powerful sound and who likes to have his/her ride cymbal close by.

Mapex Mars 528S Crossover shell set Bloodwood: 6-ply birch

The shells of this five-piece rock shell set are made of six plies of birch, for a perfectly focused sound, great resonance and a clear tone. The single, 12-inch tom has 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 22 x 18-inch bass drum is fitted with all new 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 12 x 8-inch tom can be attached to a cymbal stand with the included tom arm and clamp.

Matching snare

A notable part of this crossover shell set is the matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum with a Bloodwood finish. This snare produces a solid, distinct sound and has a very versatile character. 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. The Mars 528S Rock Blackwood is a versatile shell set with an attractive price tag!

Mapex Mars MA528S-CRW 528 Crossover 5-piece shell set Bloodwood

Wrote the following about Mapex Mars MA528S-CRW 528 Crossover 5-piece shell set Bloodwood
Vooral het geluid van de snare is mooi. Rimshots komen heel goed tot hun recht. Verder ben ik zelf fan van de twee floortoms, omdat mijn stijl van regelmatig opbouwen en breaks goed daarin passen. Zelfs de 14 inch heeft al een heel diep geluid.
Super degelijk drumstel voor deze prijs al met al. Aanrader voor hard hitters.
