Mapex Armory Series Studioease Drum Shell Pack with Fast Toms (Black Onyx Burst)

The Mapex Armory Series brings the hybrid shell concept to life, blending birch and maple for rich, expressive tone. Its 8-ply Birch/Maple/Birch hybrid shells produce a fast attack, deep lows, and balanced tone for rock, fusion, and modern styles. Finished in a striking Black Onyx Burst gloss with olive wood veneer, this kit looks as bold as it sounds. Please note that cymbals and hardware are not included.

SONIClear Bearing Edge

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Armory shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range. For the serious player, the increased head to edge contact increases shell vibration, allowing the sonic nuances of the Hybrid shell to stand out.

TOMAHAWK Snare

The TOMAHAWK comes standard with all Armory kits. Made with a 1mm steel shell, the TOMAHAWK has penetrating accuracy and long-range projection. The focused power of its rim shot is devastating.

SONIClear Suspension System

Straight from the Saturn V Series, the SONIClear Suspension System on the rack toms increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the hardware.

Insulated Bass Drum Claws

The Insulated Bass Drum Claws include rubber gaskets that protect the hoop from damage and prevent rattling or buzzing during periods of extended play.

8-ply, 7.55mm Birch/Maple/Birch Hybrid Shells

The 8ply 7.55mm Birch/Maple/Birch Hybrid Shells deliver the ultimate in tone, resonance, and punch. They allow the drums to speak quickly and project clearly in the manner of old-world drum craftsmanship.

Sonic Pedestal Foot

The Sonic Pedestal Foot provide stable support while increasing overall punch and body, preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the floor.

Olive Wood Veneers

The beautiful Olive Wood Veneers with sophisticated lacquered finishes makes the kits stand out on every stage.

TH676 Double Tom Holder

The TH676 double tom holder featured in the 2025 Armory Series, allows easy adjustment of rack tom angles, offering improved stability and a more consistent setup for drummers.

New Memory Lock

The new memory lock improves the consistency of the setup, offering greater stability and enabling drummers to easily maintain their preferred tom positions.
