Here we have a fantastic offer on a mint condition and originally special order Mapex Saturn V Exotic. This one has been extremely well looked after and could absolutely pass for brand new.
The kit comes in a size combination we've been asked for a lot which isn't offered as standard! It's a three up one down with standard depth toms and 22 x 20 bass drum.
The Mapex Saturn is one of our favourite shell combinations featuring their ever popular Maple/Walnut Hybrid. The Saturn V was the highest spec ever offered featuring an exotic maple burl outer ply and black nickel fittings.
This unique configuration offers a 22x20 kick drum, the 20'' depth provides plenty of low end and punch, contrasting with the strong attack and short sustain of the fast 8x7, 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms. The 16x14 floor tom offers plenty of focused and aggressive low end depth to compliment the powerful bass drum, making this the ideal kit for those looking for a big and bold sound. The hybrid Maple/Walnut shells come complete with black chrome hardware and a gorgeous exotic Flat Black over Maple Burl finish, ensuring that this kit looks every bit as impressive as it sounds.
The shells feature Mapex's unique SONIClear™ bearing edge, which allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a drum with far greater resonance and tonal clarity, along with a deeper, more rounded tone. The SONIClear™ edge also allows for much easier tuning, and enables the drum to consistently stay in tune.
Complimenting the bearing edge are the innovative low-contact mounts. The bass drum claws and SONIClear™ tom suspension are designed to increase resonance by reducing contact and preserving vibration in the shell. The tom suspension also avoids touching the tension rods, allowing the heads to stay in tune for longer and making them easy to change.
The bass drum spurs feature measure marks, enabling you to easily and accurately set them to your preferred settings.
