The Mars Series Shell Pack offers 100% Birch, 6-ply and 7.2mm shells with shallow depths complete with the SONIClear bearing edge, producing a fast and clear tone with a quick stick rebound. The SONIClear bearing edge allows for the direct transmission of sound, reduces unwanted frequencies and provides a strong fundamental pitch and an effortless tuning experience especially at lower tunings.

The SONIClear tom suspension and floor tom feet (simiar to the Saturn IV system) increase overall resonance by preserving vibration in the shell and keeping stress away from the tension rods, helping the heads stay in tune. Additionally, the 2-up and 1-down configuration keeps all the toms within easy reach while the extra deep bass drum produces a powerful, yet naturally equalized tone.

Additionally, a matching Mars Snare Drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack.

    I absolutely love my Rock 24 Mapex Mars kit. The 24x16 kick is a lot of fun. Great tone out of all the drums. I plan on replacing the heads that came with it. I was able to tune the stock heads and get a good tone for the time being but I think I'll get better tones with better heads. Every show I play people are complimenting me on the kit and on the black finish of the drums. I got the Mapex Falcon kick pedal and Falcon hi-hat stand to go with my Mars kit and it's a blast to play. I'm definitely looking forward to more Mapex gear in the future.

    I keep hearing different things. When you buy this kit new from Guitar Center, is any hardware included? Snare stand, cymbal stands, etc?

    This is only a shell pack. This means it only comes with the shells
