MAPEX SATURN V EXOTIC 5 PIECE DRUM KIT, CHERRY MIST MAPLE BURL, SPECIAL ORDER CONFIGURATION

Here we have a fantastic offer on a boxed brand new specially ordered Mapex Saturn V Exotic. Over the last couple of years the Exotic series kits have been very hard to source due to increasing demand on the home market. This is a great opportunity to save some money and get the highest spec Saturn offered by Mapex to date.

The kit comes in a size combination we've been asked for a lot which isn't offered as standard! It's a two up two down with a blend of standard depth rack toms and square floor toms.

The Mapex Saturn is one of our favourite shell combinations featuring their ever popular Maple/Walnut Hybrid. The latest face lift in the form of the Saturn V is their best yet!

This unique configuration offers a 22x18 kick drum, the 18'' depth provides plenty of low end and punch, contrasting with the strong attack and short sustain of the fast 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms. The square sized 14x14 & 16x16 floor toms offer plenty of focused and aggressive low end depth to compliment the powerful bass drum, making this the ideal kit for those looking for a big and bold sound. The hybrid Maple/Walnut shells come complete with black chrome hardware and a gorgeous exotic Natural Maple Burl finish, ensuring that this kit looks every bit as impressive as it sounds.

The shells feature Mapex's unique SONIClear™ bearing edge, which allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a drum with far greater resonance and tonal clarity, along with a deeper, more rounded tone. The SONIClear™ edge also allows for much easier tuning, and enables the drum to consistently stay in tune.

Complimenting the bearing edge are the innovative low-contact mounts. The bass drum claws and SONIClear™ tom suspension are designed to increase resonance by reducing contact and preserving vibration in the shell. The tom suspension also avoids touching the tension rods, allowing the heads to stay in tune for longer and making them easy to change.

The new bass drum spurs and TH800 tom arm mount both feature measure marks, enabling you to easily and accurately set them to your preferred settings, and the arm mount features a spring system which allows the clamp to be slipped over the tube with one quick move, without needing two hands.

The new lugs, the new logo, the new colours, the new suspension mounts and the new spurs give the Saturn V the biggest face lift it's ever had yet the sound is a good as ever, the new size options further enhance what Saturn can deliver and this really feels like a lot of value for money and looks as professional as the best. In a time when some companies are streamlining ranges and building techniques to cut costs, Mapex have yet again added more value and features whilst maintaining a great price point. We highly recommend checking this set out, it really does offer something unique too in terms of the attack and tone combination all delivered from and unique to the walnut.
