General
Drummers from around 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 has heard their desire for SONIClear bearing edges - because why should those fantastic edges stay confined to the Mars and Armory kits?
Mapex Saturn V MH Exotic Amber Maple Burl: rock shell set
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 rock-oriented shell set comes in an Amber Maple Burl finish and consists of a 22 x 18" bass drum, 10 x 8" and 12 x 9" toms, and a 16 x 16" floor tom. The 7-ply shells are made of maple and walnut, a combination that ensures a bright sound with a nice balance of mids and lows.
Toms
Besides the SONIClear bearing edges, the Mapex MXSV529B-MNL Saturn V also features the SONIClear Tom Suspension system. As this system ensures minimal contact with the shells, the toms can resonate freely and the resulting vibrations largely stay confined within the shells and drumheads themselves. Furthermore, two TH800 tom holders are included with this 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. In short, the Saturn V MH shell set is an absolute top-quality instrument!
