Description

The Mapex LT628S Armory Series shell pack, featuring a fusion of birch and maple shells for unparalleled tone and projection. The SONIClear bearing edge allows drum heads to sit perfectly flat, optimizing resonance and response. This versatile 6-piece shell pack includes a 22x18" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" toms, 14x12" and 16x14" floor toms with SONIClear legs, and a 14x5.5" Armory Tomahawk steel snare.

Hybrid Shells Provide Depth and Clarity

Birch provides punchy attack while maple adds warmth and sustain. Mapex crafts the LT628S Armory Series shells from these ideal pairings, fused into a single ply for tonal complexity with clarity. The shells' thin walls encourage resonance at a range of tunings.

SONIClear Bearing Edge Optimizes Drum Head Performance

The SONIClear bearing edge allows drum heads to sit perfectly flat against shells. This optimized contact area means wider tonal range, longer sustain and minimal dampening. Drum heads speak with full resonance, for recordings and live shows where every nuance matters.

Floor Toms Deliver Stability and Projection

The LT628S Armory Series' 14x12" and 16x14" floor toms feature SONIClear floor tom legs for stability on any surface. Their low-mass design avoids impeding resonance. The floor toms' large diameters provide cavernous low end with penetrating attack—ideal for drum fills that need to cut through loud stages.

Additional Specifications

This 6-piece shell pack also includes 10x7" and 12x8" mounted toms, a 14x5.5" Armory Tomahawk steel snare and two TH800 tom mounts. Triple-flanged steel hoops provide durability and tuning stability.
