Some drum kits connect right away—the Mapex Saturn VI Fusion 4-piece shell pack with 20" bass drum blends modern refinement with the tradition that players trust. Its maple and walnut hybrid shells create balanced tone with quick attack and long, musical sustain. Its hybrid maple/walnut shells balance crisp attack and lush sustain, projecting cleanly in both live and studio environments. The configuration—20x16" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" rack toms, and 14x14" floor tom—delivers punchy response and natural resonance. Featuring Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edges and suspension, triple-flanged power hoops, and chrome fittings, the Saturn VI offers pro-level tone and tuning stability trusted by working drummers worldwide.
SONIClear Edges and Suspension Enhance Clarity
Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edges ensure full head-to-shell contact, producing stronger fundamental tone and smoother sustain across all tunings. The matching SONIClear tom suspension keeps shells resonating freely while maintaining stability on stage or in the studio. Together, they make the Saturn VI exceptionally easy to tune, even at low pitches, with consistent tone and projection.
Hybrid Shells Deliver Balanced Tone and Projection
Maple and walnut hybrid shells define the Saturn VI sound—bright projection from maple balanced by walnut’s deep, warm tone. The 20x16" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" toms, and 14x14" floor tom create focused attack with broad sustain for both stage and studio work. The result is a dynamic range suited for any style—from crisp ghost notes to thunderous backbeats. Lastly, static 90-degree floor-tom legs and triple-flanged hoops maintain consistent tone and attack, while chrome hardware adds durability and polish.
Crafted for Drummers Who Demand More
Finished in high-gloss lacquer and assembled with isolation gaskets and Sonic Pedestal feet, every Saturn VI shell reflects Mapex’s attention to detail.
