The Armory Series by Mapex features a 6-ply birch and maple shell that outputs a warm, focused tone. SONIClear™ bearing edge, tom suspension and floor tom legs allow the heads to sit flat and increase shell resonance. Mapex Saturn IV-style lugs ensure a firm tune while providing a low-mass aesthetic. This shell pack offers tom that are more shallow to provide a "quicker" and more clipped resonance for funk or fusion. In addition, all Armory shell packs include the 14” x 5-1/2" Tomahawk Black-Plated Steel Snare. The Tomahawk produces a bright, focused and loud backbeat and adds style to all Armory shell packs.
