MAPEX Mars MA529SF
The 100% Birch 6-Ply Shells are focused and allow the drums to speak quickly and project clearly.
Rack toms have a punchy brightness while the lower frequencies of the bass drum and floor toms are supported with enhanced fundamental and body.
SONIClear™ Bearing Edge
SONIClear™ Bearing Edge Allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range.
SONIClear™ Suspension System
Straight from the Saturn Series, the SONIClear™ Suspension System on the rack toms increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the hardware.
Insulated Bass Drum Claws
The Insulated Bass Drum Claws include rubber gaskets that protect the hoop from damage and prevent rattling or buzzing during periods of extended play.
Matching Snare Drum
The Matching Snare Drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack.
Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders
Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders are standard with Mars Birch Series 529(TH676) & 486(TH683) shell packs. A Single Tom Arm and Clamp for mounting the rack tom from a cymbal stand are standard on the 446(TH800) shell packs.
