Mapex MA529SFOR Mars Birch Blood Orange Sparkle Drumkit
The Mars Birch provides drummers a strong upgrade, to be ready for their next step of the "Drummer For Life" journey.
Birch Shells and SONIClear Edge
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. The 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.
Suspension and Bass Drum Claws
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. 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 and Tom Mounting Options
The matching snare drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack. Bass drum mounted tom holders are standard with Mars Birch Series 529 (TH676) and 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.
Series: Mars
The Mars series delivers a professional-level feel and sound at an accessible price point. The drums are available in various shell constructions, including birch, hybrid maple/birch, mahogany, and poplar, offering diverse tonal options. With SONIClear bearing edges and durable hardware, the Mars series provides excellent projection, fast response, and easy tuning.
Shell Material: Birch
Birch is a popular tonewood known for its bright sound. Drum shells made from birch offer a strong attack with clear, articulate highs, making it ideal for cutting through loud mixes. Birch drums are also known for their excellent definition across the frequency spectrum. The wood's natural characteristics provide a sharp, punchy tone with a crisp snap, making it a favorite among rock, jazz, and live performers who need clear articulation in their sound.
Number of Plies: 6
The number of layers affects the overall resonance, sustain, and tonal qualities of the drums. With 6 layers, the sound becomes fuller, offering strong low-end presence and clear midrange frequencies, while maintaining more controlled and less pronounced high frequencies.
