Mapex Meridian Birch MR5295FK2

Going to greater lengths.

This kit is where we begin to mix things up in Meridian. It's our goal to ensure our drums allow you to communicate your musical expression as you feel and hear it. We certainly don't want to look and sound like everyone else so why on earth should our drums? 

With this set you're seen but most important of all, heard. The cannon like 22x20 bass drum packs so much punch you may have to velcro the bass player to the stage. The shallow depth 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms and 16x14 tune easily, attack fast and decay quickly so your fills and grooves are pronounced and concise over that driving kick.

We have kept the 14x5.5 snare for it's versatility, if one day you want your toms tuned up and snare cranked and 'popping' behind then that's fine, the next you want to drop the pitch and slacken the snare off for a big rock sound, that's cool too. 

The shells themselves are powerful in so many ways. When recording the range for our product demo's, we grew increasingly impressed with it's tone as the session went on. The Birch shells give such a clear, pronounced tone and show ultimate versatility, it seemed their potential had no end!

Finishes on this range also keep getting better and better, this year has seen some of the most stunning, lustrous finishes yet, couple that with great configurations and your onto a winner.
