Built for drummers who demand an expansive acoustic setup, the Mapex Mars Black 7-piece Double Bass shell pack combines European maple construction with a dual-bass configuration and coordinated black hardware. Its 7-ply, 7.2 mm shells provide the warm, balanced tonal character associated with maple, while two 22x18" bass drums deliver the foundation for powerful double-bass playing. A pair of rack toms and two floor toms extend the kit's tonal range, offering multiple voices for intricate fills and dynamic transitions. The 14x6.5" snare drum completes the seven-drum configuration, providing a full-bodied backbeat. Finished in Metallic Black with black triple-flanged hoops and matching lug fittings, the kit presents a unified appearance. An included hardware package with two bass drum pedals, cymbal stands and essential drum stands provides a practical starting point for assembling a substantial acoustic setup.

European Maple Shells With Balanced Tonal Response

Each drum features a 7-ply European maple shell measuring 7.2 mm thick, establishing consistent construction across the kit. Maple is valued for its combination of warmth, body and articulation, making it well suited to a broad range of playing dynamics. The 10x8" and 12x9" rack toms provide defined upper and midrange voices, while the 14x14" and 16x16" floor toms extend the kit into deeper registers. Together, these four toms give drummers a wide tonal spread for elaborate fills and rhythmic accents. Black triple-flanged hoops complement the shells, supporting natural resonance and familiar tuning characteristics.

Dual Bass Drums for Expansive Rhythmic Possibilities

Two 22x18" bass drums form the centerpiece of this configuration, giving drummers dedicated drums for left- and right-foot bass patterns. This traditional double-bass arrangement accommodates rapid alternating strokes, complex rhythmic passages and powerful accents without relying on a double pedal. Both bass drums feature a mount-free design, while the included P600 bass drum pedals provide an individual pedal for each drum. Combined with the four-tom layout and 14x6.5" snare, the dual-bass setup offers the flexibility to explore demanding rock and metal arrangements with a full acoustic configuration.

Coordinated Black Hardware Completes the Setup

The Metallic Black shells are complemented by black triple-flanged hoops, black lug fittings and black Remo UT batter heads, with clear Remo UT resonant heads completing 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, a TS700EB black-plated double tom stand and two P600 bass drum pedals. These components provide the essential stands and pedals for assembling the kit, while cymbals can be selected separately to suit individual playing preferences. With its expanded tom range, two full-size bass drums and coordinated hardware, the Mapex Mars Black 7-piece Double Bass shell pack offers a substantial foundation for drummers seeking a powerful, visually cohesive acoustic kit.
