The Armory Series is an exciting realization of the Mapex hybrid shell concept. A fusion of birch and maple delivers the ultimate tonal expression, and the SONIClear™ bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flat, bringing out the best response by optimizing the relationship between head and shell.
Features
- The SONIClear™ Bearing Edge is standard on all Armory shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head to edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the Hybrid shell to stand out.
- The TOMAHAWK comes standard with all Armory kits. Made with a 1mm steel shell, the TOMAHAWK has penetrating accuracy and long-range projection. The focused power of its rim shot is devastating.
- Straight from the Saturn V Series, the SONIClear™ Suspension System on the rack toms increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the hardware.
- The Insulated Bass Drum Claws include rubber gaskets that protect the hoop from damage and prevent rattling or buzzing during periods of extended play.
- The 6ply 7.2mm Birch/Maple/Birch Hybrid Shells deliver the ultimate in tone, resonance, and punch. They allow the drums to speak quickly and project clearly in the manner of old-world drum craftsmanship.
- The SONIClear™ Floor Tom Feet provide stable support while increasing overall punch and body, preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the floor.
- The beautiful Olive Wood Veneer s with sophisticated lacquered finishes makes the kits stand out on every stage.
- Virgin Bass Drums are standard with all configurations in this series, giving the kick sound increased body and low-end. SONIClear™ Tom Holders are included for all rack toms, lending
ultimate set-up flexibility to the player.
