Maple/birch shells sport a modern, focused attack
The kick and toms in your Mapex Armory shell pack are crafted from hand-selected maple with birch inner and outer plies. Maple provides the Armory’s resonant body and projection, while birch dries overtones and focuses attack for satisfying impact.
SONIClear bearing edges unlock the full tone of your shells
Place a drumhead on one of your current shells. Notice the rocking? The drag when you spin it? That’s proof that your bearing edges are robbing you of tone and tuning capability. Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edges seat heads so perfectly that they can be hand tensioned and still produce a pure tone. This widens the tuning range for players who prefer deeper fundamentals while producing a purer pitch across the board.
