Mapex Meridian Maple MP5245FK
Classic looks, contemporary sounds.
Whilst the retro looking 22x14 bass drum is reminiscent of yesteryear in aesthetic, there is certainly something to be said for the shallow depth and the tone it creates in today's musical environments. Instantly the drum attacks quickly, the 'thud' is focused and the top end cuts through clearly without any low end frequencies standing in the way. This drum is also undrilled, no bass drum mount so the shell is left 100% to it's own devices to give the clearest sound possible.
We believe there is most definitely a place for this size drum in today's contemporary music scene. If you love the way a 22″ kick plays and want instant clarity, tone and projection, then this drum delivers!
10x7 and 12x8 shallow all Maple rack toms are all about tone, the shallow depth means they attack quickly and tune easily and mounting off the bass drum allows them to resonate further. The slightly shallower than usual 14x12 floor tom also sounds big and full whilst decaying quickly. The faithful and ever dynamic 14x5.5 all Maple snare completes the set and tunes to suit whatever style you look to play.
A P700 series single pedal is included.
