step inside the mind of mapex

KEVIN MILLER
FUEL

Drummers aren’t like other musicians.

They give life an extra squeeze.

Creative, explosive, obsessed, passionate, persistent,

constantly striving – drummers are the band’s energy
source… and not just because they love what they’re
doing… they’re also tuned in to other people.
Drummers want everyone to feel the groove.

And creating the groove is what they do. The downbeat,

the 2 and 4, is the foundation of the song. It all begins
with the drummer, the heart of the band.

Mapex is not like other drum companies. We don’t

like to leave things as they are. If a player can imagine it,
we can create it. And, you know, drummers are
very imaginative.

Because our own craftsmen make every drum we sell,

we completely control the creative process. That’s why
Mapex is not just what’s new, Mapex is what’s better.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a top-of-the-
line, professional drum set — the one that
makes your friends gasp, the one that everyone
envies, the one that makes the sound engineer
sit up and take notice — then take a closer look
at the Mapex Orion Series.
Orion drum sets are built to order, with a wide
range of sizes and stunning hand rubbed lacquer
finishes. As you sit behind the kit and start to
play, you’ll be rewarded with sweet, rich tone
produced by the thinest, finest, most select
North American maple shells.
Intense and luxurious wood grain, smart and
sexy low-mass lugs, strong and beautifully
designed hardware — these are the things that
the accomplished professional deserves in a set
of drums. Don’t you deserve an Orion?

 Ready for the road.
Until you actually sit behind a Saturn kit and
hear for yourself what two thin walnut plies do

saturn
for ultra-thin maple shells, you really don’t
know what you’re missing. The bass drum has
that extra-fat bottom end, the floor toms that
unmistakable punch, the mounted toms ring
with warm resonance like you’ve never heard.
The perfect drum set for the road warrior, the
Saturn is everything you need to make an
impact on stage. Lightweight hardware,
finishes especially designed to make the most
of stage lighting, and above all, sonic qualities
that set you apart from everyone else.
Sit down behind a Saturn and discover what so
many touring professionals have learned. Do it
for the crowd. Do it for the band. Do it for
yourself. The Mapex Saturn may just be the
last drum set you’ll ever buy.

 Value with a capital M.
Think you can’t afford a drum set with all-

m maple
maple shells? Think again. The M Maple
Series is the most solid value on the market in
an all maple, lacquered set. Without busting
your wallet, the M Maple is the ideal kit for the
serious player who’s looking to upgrade from
the “kiddie” set or a great second set for
the professional.
The M Maple comes in a variety of unique,
hand rubbed lacquer finishes and is available
in a wide range of configurations. The M
Maple also comes with lightweight double
braced hardware and Remo® drum heads.
Why play a mediocre drum set when you can
benefit from the tone and resonance of maple
shells for the same price? Check out how
much quality your money can buy with the
Mapex M Maple.

 Lacquer like you’ve never seen.
If you want to look like every other player out

vx plasma
there, then the VX Plasma is probably not for
you. However if you’re the kind of drummer
that, well, marches to your own beat, then
Mapex has something for you.
We start with thin, genuine basswood shells and
using a unique eight-step finishing process, give
them a unique three-dimensional textured
lacquer surface that’s unlike any other. What’s
more, the VX comes with everything you need
to start creating the moment you open the box.
VX Plasma drum sets includes drums, double
braced hardware, throne and quality ChinDal
cast cymbals and a padded cymbal bag.
Whether you’re playing covers in the garage or
testing new material in the clubs, make sure you
make a statement. The VX Plasma gives you
the look. The rest is up to you.
