Description

Some drum kits are built to make a statement—the Mapex Saturn VI Rock 4-piece shell pack with 22" bass drum brings power, clarity and character to every performance. Its hybrid maple/walnut shells produce a fast, focused attack with rich low-end sustain, while the 22x18" bass drum anchors your sound with unmistakable authority. The 10x7" and 12x8" toms offer smooth, balanced transitions, and the 16x14" floor tom adds punch and depth. With SONIClear bearing edges for effortless tuning and open resonance, the Saturn VI brings the legendary Saturn tone and build quality to players ready for the stage or studio.

Hybrid Maple/Walnut Shells Shape the Saturn Sound

Each shell blends maple’s articulate projection with walnut’s dark, resonant tone, giving the kit a signature mix of attack and body. SONIClear bearing edges provide a true head-to-shell connection, improving response and simplifying tuning at any pitch. This precise design helps the drums speak quickly and clearly in both high-energy performances and detailed recording sessions.

SONIClear Hardware Maximizes Resonance

SONIClear tom suspension and Static 90-degree floor-tom legs preserve shell vibration for natural sustain and smooth rebound. Triple-flanged power hoops and Sonic Pedestal feet keep each drum stable while allowing open tone and long decay. Air Flow venting and isolation gaskets control resonance and prevent unwanted overtones, so every stroke lands with intention and clarity. Together, these details highlight Mapex’s focus on precision engineering and musical performance.

Mapex Craftsmanship: Durable, Refined and Ready to Perform

Each shell is finished in a high-gloss lacquer veneer that shows off the wood’s grain and protects it from wear. Chrome hardware resists corrosion, while heavy-duty fittings stand up to years of travel and stage use. Backed by Mapex’s limited lifetime warranty and decades of music and percussion excellence, the Saturn VI Rock shell pack represents the brand’s ongoing pursuit of sound quality, innovation and dependable design for working drummers.
