Style and Innovation at an Inviting Price Point

When you're battling multiple guitars for a place in the mix, not just any drum kit will do. The Mapex Armory shell pack cuts through today's music with a clean, focused attack and style to match. Acoustically, each shell's hand-selected maple core boasts a familiar bite and sensitivity — one that drummers of all backgrounds will enjoy. And come showtime, the Mapex Armory's birch inner and outer plies focus attack for a tight, modern, close-miked sound. Mapex's SONIClear bearing edges seat drumheads flat on the shell, providing a wide tuning range and pure, deep fundamentals.

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 like deeper fundamentals, while producing a purer pitch across the board.

Tone-enhancing tom hardware promotes sustain

SONIClear tom suspension mounts and floor tom feet further enhance the soulful resonance of which your Mapex Armory shells are capable.

Tomahawk steel snare excels for rock and metal

Mapex drums have found a niche among rock and metal drummers. For these applications, the Tomahawk steel snare drum included in your Armory shell pack won't disappoint. It bears all the marks of a fine steel snare: a deep, throaty growl, penetrating cut, and great snare sensitivity.

Mapex Drums Armory 6-piece Shell Pack Features:

  • Style and innovation at an inviting price point
  • Hybrid birch/maple shells sport a modern, focused attack
  • SONIClear bearing edges maximize tone and tuning range
  • Tomahawk steel snare has exceptional bite and depth — great for rock and metal
  • Included SONIClear suspension mounts and floor tom feet enhance resonance

My first brand new kit

It sounds great, looks great, heck! It even smells great!

The drums arrived pretty close to tuned out of the box. The snare sounds awesome!

I only wish it came with clear batter heads but other than that I love them… so far.
Music background: Yeah baby… music
Rated 5/5

Amazing value and amazing sound!

This is the best kit I've ever owned. I really enjoy how easy it is to tune these drums and the versatility of the mounting hardware allow me to really set them up to my particular liking. The tone wood is spectacular and I'd go as far to say these drums are the best value in the intermediate price range across all brands. Mapex Armory series drums are the best pound for pound value in drums period .
Rated 5/5

Absolutely love how these sound, fresh out the box!!!

The shallow toms allow you to sit on top of your drums and get really comfortable if you like to hover on top of your toms like I do. The birch and maple shells project a unique and warm tone like no other drums I've ever played, highly recommend for all genres!!'
Rated 5/5

This shouldn't happen after one 2 hour set. Happy with them overall, which makes this interruption even more of an inconvienence
