Mapex Armory Series 6-Piece Studioease Shell Pack Fast Toms With 22" Bass Drum and Sabian B8X Cymbals Tanzanite Burst

Description
Every drummer knows the right kit should feel like an extension of your hands and heart—and the Mapex Armory Series 6-piece Studioease shell pack with fast toms, 22" bass drum and Sabian B8X cymbals delivers that connection. Balancing modern design with the classic sound players count on, this kit uses a birch and maple hybrid shell formula to deliver focused attack with warmth and depth. The SONIClear bearing edge helps the drumheads sit flat for a pure, resonant tone and makes tuning simpler. With a 22x18" bass drum, two mounted toms (10x7" and 12x8"), two floor toms (14x12" and 16x14"), and the 14x5.5" Armory Tomahawk steel snare, this setup is ready for rehearsal, recording and live shows. Its precise, articulate sound supports drummers who demand clarity in every hit.
Mapex Hybrid Shells Balance Warmth and Attack
Mapex's hybrid shell formula has become a calling card for drummers who demand balance and punch in the same kit. Mapex combines maple's warmth with birch's projection to achieve a balanced, punchy voice in every shell. The maple interior adds body, while the birch exterior brings clarity and attack. This hybrid blend cuts through mixes without losing musicality. Each shell responds well to dynamic playing, making ghost notes and accents stand out. The unique tone supports expressive drumming in the studio or on stage, so every nuance is captured with clarity.
Mapex SONIClear Bearing Edge Improves Tuning
The SONIClear bearing edge is one of Mapex's signature innovations, trusted because it makes tuning faster, easier and more consistent. The SONIClear bearing edge flattens the contact surface, letting drumheads settle evenly on the shell. This design makes the drums easier to tune, even for players who struggle with traditional edges. The result is a consistent, open tone with better sustain. The tuning stability means drummers can spend less time adjusting and more time playing, which is especially helpful in fast-paced studio sessions.
Mapex Studioease Configuration With Fast Toms
Mapex gives the Studioease layout a reputation for speed, control and a compact footprint drummers rely on in real-world settings. The Studioease configuration uses fast tom sizes for quick response and a compact footprint. The two rack toms and two floor toms provide a wide tonal range, while the 22" bass drum anchors the kit with solid low end. The included steel snare cuts through with crisp attack. Mapex ships the kit with SONIClear floor tom legs and sturdy mounting hardware, so players can dial in their setup quickly and keep it stable during long sessions.
Durable Construction Built for Heavy Use
Mapex engineers the Armory series to take the hits—literally—and stay reliable year after year. Every shell uses quality woods and reliable hardware, designed to withstand years of regular use. The bearing edges resist damage from repeated head changes. Chrome fittings and heavy-duty lugs keep tuning stable and hardware secure. Mapex includes steel support legs for the floor toms, ensuring the kit stays solid even under aggressive playing. This build quality supports consistent, reliable performance in demanding environments.
