The Mapex MA486SMI Mars Birch Shell Set Bebop Twilight Sparkle is a 100% birch shell set with SONIClear bearing edges. The Mars Birch series offers high quality crafted shells with balanced mids and plenty of projection as well as clear projection. The shells consist of seven layers with a thickness of 7.2 mm. Unwanted harmonics are naturally reduced by the wood, in addition the shells offer ideal tuning behavior in all situations. The SONIClear Tom suspension increases the resonance of the shells by allowing it to vibrate completely freely. In combination with the Remo heads, which are supplied from the factory, the result is a professional sound that is suitable for the stage. Visually, the Mapex Mars Birch drum kit is rounded out by the modern finish and chrome hardware.
One of the professional aspects is the SONIClear bearing edge. The strong rounding of the edges increases the contact surface on the shell. The thus increased contact causes a stronger power transmission from the head to the shell, which emphasizes the powerful and deep fundamental tone of the Mars drum shells. Last but not least, this form of bearing edge makes Mars drums easier to tune, especially at low frequencies.
