The Mapex Saturn V Tour-Edition SVTE401XVA in Black Strata Pearl is a three-piece professional drum set in vintage look, especially designed for live use. With many professional features, the great workmanship and the good price-performance ratio, the Mapex Saturn V Tour Edition is the perfect drum set for rock, punk and indie drummers who are on the go a lot and need a stable drum set with a fat, warm sound. The shells consist of a maple / walnut hybrid and convince with their warm basic character and a balanced sound with a lot of bass and excellent response, also thanks to the Remo Emperor and Powerstroke 3 heads. The SONICLear bearing edges and tom holder allow the shell to resonate freely and increase the contact surface of the head, which results in simple tuning and a higher tonal range, so many music styles can be operated.
With the Saturn V drums, Mapex introduces the next step in the development of high quality drums. With award winning features and the great price-performance ratio, Mapex manages to set itself apart from the wide range of drums on the market. Just like the predecessors, the Saturn V drum shell are 6 and 8-ply hybrids made from maple and walnut. The toms are equipped with Remo Clear Emperor heads, the bass drum features a Remo Powerstroke head. The shell hardware for the Tour Edition drum sets is offered exclusively in chrome and the four different finishes offer a certain retro charm that harmoniously supports the vintage character of the three-piece drum sets.
Originally developed for the Armory and Mars series, the new SONIClear bearing edges and tom holder are a standard feature on the Saturn V series as well. The result is an improved sound and a wider tuning range as well. There are no additional multi clamps required for the mounting of the toms in order to increase resonance and eliminate unwanted energy transfer to the hardware.
But that's not all: The floor tom legs are also equipped with the new SONIClear technology for an optimum resonance and symbiosis of head and shell. The result is a very rich, powerful sound with a lot of harmonics.
The pictured cymbals as well as snare and hardware are NOT included!
