Mapex Saturn Evo Iridium Silver Hybrid 3 Piece Shell Pack w/TH800

Evolution is an understatement. This is the latest extraordinary addition to Mapex's sonic system. The Mapex Saturn Evolution Maple/Walnut 22" 3-piece Shell Pack epitomises transformation in the pursuit of perfection. First and foremost, the Saturn Evolution's new Halo mounting system takes intriguing metaphor and turns it into tangible reality. This unique, lateral suspension system gives your rack toms their very own rings of Saturn. The sonic benefits? It unlocks the toms' full, unrestricted resonance for complete tonal freedom. These drums aren't world-class, they're galaxy-class.

The pioneering Saturn Series made its name through groundbreaking work on hybrid shell construction. You'll be pleased to hear there's much more of that here. The order of the ply blend in these hybrid shells has been adjusted to move the walnut element to the centre of the bearing edge, producing a warmer, slightly darker voice. Already known for its richness, this switch complements the maple element superbly. With an abundance of fierce attack that imbues bright character with every strike, the Saturn Evolution Shell Pack is an intergalactic percussive force. It's unlike any drum kit you've ever played.

Mapex Saturn Series: Elevate Your Sound to Cosmic Heights

Prepare to embark on a sonic journey that transcends the ordinary with the Mapex Saturn Series drums. Much like the rings of Saturn, these drums possess their own unique orbit of sound – a symphony of tones and resonances that defy the conventional boundaries of drumming. Let's explore the celestial wonders that make the Saturn Series a stellar choice for drummers seeking unparalleled quality and innovation.

Halo Mounting System: Resonance Unleashed

Just as Saturn's rings encircle the planet, the Evolution rack toms feature their own orbital rings: the Halo mounting system. This revolutionary under-lug-line isolation mount grants each shell the freedom to resonate freely, producing tones of the purest essence. Striking the Saturn Evolution toms reveals the full spectrum of their sonic range, ensuring you experience nothing less than their best.

Custom Shell Construction: Craftsmanship in Every Beat

Each drum in the Saturn Series is an instrument meticulously crafted with Mapex's Chamber Specific Shell Construction. Understanding that drums are not one-size-fits-all, Mapex tailors their construction. Larger drums feature thicker plies, graduating depths, and varying bearing edges. This intricate treatment ensures that each drum is optimized for its specific role, delivering fully-optimized sounds that resonate with depth and clarity.

Maple and Walnut Fusion: Dynamic Harmony of Tones

The Saturn Series drums boast a dynamic blend of maple and walnut woods, creating a perfect synergy of tonal richness and projection. Maple, renowned for its versatile warmth, merges seamlessly with walnut's fierce properties, delivering fast attack and dark tones. This fusion results in electrifying drums suitable for any musical setting, blending melodic tones with pronounced projection.

SONIClear Shells: Harmonic Brilliance

Mapex's unique SONIClear bearing edge technology enhances the Saturn Series' resonance and tonal complexity. This innovation ensures superior contact between the drum head and shell, allowing for enhanced shell vibration and greater resonance. The SONIClear bearing edge profile elevates the drums' fundamental pitch, allowing you to explore the intricate sonic nuances of the wood blend. These shells are designed to resonate, reaching musical heights beyond imagination.

Sonic Pedestal Feet: Sonic Separation Perfected

The Saturn Series, coupled with the TH800 SONIClear tom holders and Sonic Pedestal feet, achieves unparalleled tonal resonance. These rubber feet prevent contact between the floor tom legs and your playing surface, eliminating vibration transfer and maximizing resonance. The steel legs rest on an elevated spring within the pedestal, further enhancing the drums' clarity and sustain. Every feature is meticulously designed to empower your drums with unrivaled sonic separation.

SAS Lacquer Finish: The Artistry of Sound

Even the Saturn Series' luxurious Iridium Silver lacquer finish is a testament to the art and science of acoustics. Part of Mapex's Sonic Attenuation System, this finish enhances the drums' overall pitch. Unlike traditional wrap coverings, these lacquer finishes are sprayed directly onto the shell, preserving their natural tonal range. Each drum resonates with a stunning visual elegance, reflecting the harmony between form and function.
