Mapex MA486S Mars Birch 4-Piece Bop Shell Pack, Diamond Sparkle Overview
The Mars Series “Bop” Shell Pack features a 1 up and 1 down compact setup featuring an 18” kick drum with a massive sound. This is the configuration you need when space is limited and you require response, power, and control.

The Mars Birch series builds on the legacy of the Mars Birch range, globally recognised as a benchmark for tone, quality, and value as a mid-range offering.
The kit features a 6-ply Birch shell, which is perfectly complimented by the modern features of the Mars family, with the proprietary SONIClear bearing edges delivering an expansive tuning range and producing a deep fundamental pitch from the bass drum and floor toms.
Additional features include insulated bass drum claws, matching wood snare drums, and bass drum-mounted tom holders equipped with the SONIClear suspension system to provide maximum sustain and projection.
- The 100% Birch 6-Ply Shells are focused and allow the drums to speak quickly and project clearly. Rack toms have a punchy brightness while the lower frequencies of the bass drum and floor toms are supported with enhanced fundamental and body.
- SONIClearTM Bearing Edge 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.
- Straight from the Saturn Series, the SONIClearTM 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 Matching Snare Drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack.
- Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders are standard with Mars Birch Series 529(TH676) & 486(TH683) shell packs. A Single Tom Arm and Clamp for mounting the rack tom from a cymbal stand are standard on the 528 & 446(TH800) shell packs.
