The Mars Maple 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 7-ply 100% European Maple 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.
- 100% European Maple emits buttery, classic and warm maple tone transmitted through beautifully lacquered 7 -ply, 7.2mm shellsfor a sound that will launch your drumming to the next level and will command the attention of your bandmates as they get into your groove.
- SONIClear ™ 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 SONIClear ™ 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. Its 14” x 5.5” size provides great tuning and musical versatility.
- Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders are standard with Mars Maple Series 504, 529 and 628 shell packs. A Single Tom Arm and Clamp for mounting the rack tom from a cymbal stand are standard on the 486 shell packs.
