Mapex Armory Series – The Ultimate Expression

Mapex is one of the world’s largest producers of drum kits and drum equipment. Easily overlooked, their “for drummers, by drummers” approach says a lot about the brand and the instruments they produce.

Today we’re taking a look at their Armory range of drum kits.

The Armory range is built upon the concept of a hybrid shell; specifically a fusion of birch and maple. This combination, delivers what can only be described as the ultimate in tonal expression.

This pairs perfectly with Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edge design which allows the drumhead to sit flat, bringing out the best possible response by optimizing the relationship between head and shell.

To take this even further, the entire range of Armory drum kits include the Mapex Armory Tomahawk snare drum. A 14″ x 5.5″ stainless steel snare delivers penetrating accuracy and long range projection thanks to its 45 degree bearing edge.

Let’s take a closer look at the range of Armory drum kits.
