Built for drummers who favor a powerful rock configuration, the Mapex Mars Black 4-piece Rock shell pack combines European maple construction with full-size drums and coordinated black hardware. Its 7-ply, 7.2 mm shells provide the warm, balanced tonal character associated with maple, while the 22x18" bass drum establishes a substantial foundation for driving rhythms. A 12x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom offer contrasting voices for fills and accents, complemented by a 14x6.5" snare drum for pronounced backbeats. Black triple-flanged hoops and Remo UT drumheads complete the shell configuration, while the Metallic Black finish creates a cohesive appearance across the kit. Unlike many shell packs, this configuration also includes two boom cymbal stands, a hi-hat stand, a snare stand and a bass drum pedal. Together, these elements give drummers a coordinated acoustic setup with the shell sizes and hardware needed to build a rock-oriented kit.

European Maple Shells With Full-Bodied Rock Character

Each drum features a 7-ply European maple shell measuring 7.2 mm thick, providing a consistent construction foundation across the kit. Maple is valued for its balanced frequency response, combining warmth and body with the articulation needed for defined rhythmic patterns. The 22x18" bass drum provides a deep foundation, while the 12x9" rack tom and 16x16" floor tom create a useful tonal spread for fills and transitions. A 14x6.5" snare adds depth and presence to the backbeat. Black triple-flanged hoops complement the shells, allowing the drums to resonate naturally while maintaining a familiar tuning and playing experience.

Coordinated Black Hardware for a Complete Setup

The Mars Black configuration pairs its Metallic Black shells with black triple-flanged hoops, black lug fittings and black Remo UT batter heads for a unified visual presentation. Clear Remo UT resonant heads complete the drumhead configuration. The included hardware package features two B600EB black-plated boom cymbal stands, an H600EB black-plated hi-hat stand, an S600EB black-plated snare stand and a P600 bass drum pedal. These components provide the essential stands and pedal for assembling the kit, leaving drummers to select cymbals according to their playing preferences. The coordinated hardware also extends the kit's distinctive black styling beyond the shells.

Its contrasting tom sizes, deep bass drum and full-size snare provide a versatile range of voices, while the coordinated black finish gives the kit a distinctive appearance. The Mapex Mars Black 4-piece Rock shell pack brings together maple construction, traditional drum hardware and a thoughtfully matched configuration for players seeking a cohesive acoustic drum kit.
