The Mapex M Birch has quickly become one of the fastest selling drumsets in history. Tonally superior birch shells, luxuriously braced Mapex 550A Series hardware, and a wide range of configurations for a remarkable price, plus a free add-on tom complete with mounting hardware. Updates to the Mapex M Birch drum set in 2007 include a fantastic new burst finish, new components, new configurations, and a free extra tom.
The Mapex M Birch Drumset employs 6-ply, 7.2mm drum shells (5 birch plies, one exterior maple ply) to deliver an incredible high-end attack, narrower midrange, and lots of bottom-end punch. The shells feature a maple veneer finished with 8 hand-applied coats of transparent lacquer and matching lacquered bass drum hoops. This birch drum kit is sure to shimmer under the lights. The Isolated Tom System protects the shell's integrity and allows the toms to vibrate freely, ensuring maximum projection and resonance. OS Cymbal Accentuators create enhanced cymbal sustain, and the 500 Series double-braced Performing Artist hardware means your components stay in place, no matter how hard you play. Improvements for 2007 include a boom stand with a retractable tilter and a footboard stabilizer for the bass drum pedal. Remo heads mean you're ready to go straight out of the box.
