Here we have a very rare opportunity to grab yourself a Mapex Saturn V 8 x 7 Tom. The Saturn V series and the Amber Maple Burl finish have just been discontinued. This is a great chance for an existing owner to get a rare size to match their set.
The Mapex Saturn is one of our favourite shell combinations featuring their ever popular Maple/Walnut Hybrid.
The hybrid Maple/Walnut shells come complete with black chrome hardware and a gorgeous exotic Amber Maple Burl finish, ensuring that this drum 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 tom suspension also avoids touching the tension rods, allowing the heads to stay in tune for longer and making them easy to change.
