Armory 22,10,2,4,6,4S DesDun

The Armory Series is the latest realization of the Mapex hybrid shell concept.

Unleash the perfect fusion of tonal expression with the Mapex AR628SFEDW Armory Maple/Birch 6-Piece Studioease Fast Shell Pack w/ Extra Deep Bass Drum Desert Dune. This drum kit is a masterful blend of birch and maple, delivering unparalleled resonance and punch. The innovative SONIClear bearing edge is a standard feature on all Armory shells, allowing the drumhead to sit flat and optimize the relationship between head and shell for a stronger fundamental pitch, consistent tuning, and an expanded tuning range.

The Tomahawk snare, equipped with a 1mm steel shell, takes centre stage with penetrating accuracy and long-range projection. Its rim shot packs a focused power that's truly devastating, making it an essential component for the serious player. Straight from the Saturn V Series, the SONIClear Suspension System on the rack toms enhances overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell, preventing energy transfer to the hardware. The result is a drum kit that speaks quickly and projects clearly, reminiscent of old-world drum craftsmanship. The Insulated Bass Drum Claws, featuring rubber gaskets, protect the hoop from damage and eliminate rattling or buzzing during extended play. The SONIClear Floor Tom Feet provide stable support while enhancing punch and body, preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the floor.

The 6-ply 7.2mm Birch/Maple/Birch Hybrid Shells are a testament to Mapex's craftsmanship, delivering a tone that's rich, resonant, and punchy. The Olive Wood Veneer with sophisticated lacquered finish adds a touch of elegance, making this kit stand out on any stage. Virgin Bass Drums, standard in all configurations, provide increased body and low-end kick sound. SONIClear Tom Holders offer ultimate setup flexibility.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Mapex Armory Maple/Birch Studioease Fast Shell Pack w/ Extra Deep Bass Drum for its outstanding craftsmanship, delivering a drumming experience that's both powerful and nuanced, at an affordable price.
