Full Description
View Full DescriptionMaple and walnut - a truly dynamic shell blend
The Mapex Saturn Series drum shells - hybrid design creating a new standard. Maple is a popular choice for drum shells the world over because of its tonal versatility and all-round warmness. Walnut bestows much fiercer properties, including fast attack and dark tones. Much harder than maple, Walnut ensures pronounced projection from the shells, whilst Maple compliments this with melodic and warm tones. An electrifying fusion that makes these drums perfect for any style, technique or venue.
Newly-added SONIClear bearing edges
Mapex's unique bearing edge technology, thanks to their Black Panther Design Lab, ensures better contact between drum head and shell. This increased head-to-shell contact improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance, as well as easier tuning. Opening up a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, this bearing edge profile allows you to enjoy the sonic nuances of the wood blend. The Saturn Series shells were designed to sing!
SONIClear tom suspension for optimal resonance
In a clean, professional chrome, Mapex's SONIClear are low-mass holders which liberate the toms from tight clamping of previous drums and preserve the vibrations from your heads and shells, allowing them to resonate with greater freedom and musicality. Whenever you strike the Saturn Series toms, you'll experience the very best of the shells wide sonic range provide.
Customised air flow system
ANother Black Panther Design Labs innovation is the Chamber Specific-Nodal Line Air Flow Venting technology that ensures that the Saturn Series bass drums and toms are each allocated unique air hole placement. These vents are positioned strategically in alignment with the drum lugs to prevent interference with the shell's overall resonance.
Elevated drums for greater sonic separation
Coupled with the TH800 SONIClear tom holders, Mapex's Sonic Pedestal feet enhance the Saturn Series' tonal resonance even more. These rubber feet prevent contact between the floor tom legs and your playing surface. The steel legs rest on an elevated spring within the pedestal, eliminating vibration transfer and maximising resonance. Every feature is the result of painstaking, formulaic testing designed to empower your drums.
