General

The Mapex Mars MA529S-BZW 529 Rock with its Nightwood finish is quite a special drum set.

And all this for a very reasonable price! This shell set consists of a 22-inch bass drum, two toms of 10 and 12 inches respectively, a 16-inch floor toms and a 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum.

Mapex Mars 529S Rock shell set Nightwood: rock kit with a clear tone

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 toms have a punchy clarity, while the low end provided by the bass drum and floor tom has more punch and body than ever before. The 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 snare

A notable part of this shell set is the matching 14 x 6.5-inch snare drum. 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 529S Rock Nightwood is an affordable shell set with a mystical finish and a versatile character. The ideal kit for rock drummers!
