Mapex Armory: Hybrid shells
The base of the Armory series are the hybrid shells made of birch and maple. The arrangement of the woods (outer and inner birch layers, between them maple) gives the Armory Drums an extraordinary resonance and a strong punch. The shells respond very quickly and sensitively and allow a dynamic way of playing.
SONIClear bearing edge
The SONIClear bearing edge is another innovation in the Mapex Armory Drums. The strongly rounded edge provides an increased headr-to-shell contact, which emphasizes the natural sound of shell and wood. In addition, the tuning of the Armory shells is made considerably easier by the bearing edge, especially the low frequencies become more present in the sound.
SONIClear Suspension System
The Tom suspension of the Armory Drums was taken from the much more expensive Mapex Saturn V series and provides an unrestricted resonance development of the shell. In addition, the force generated when hitting the head is kept in the shell and not dissipated by the hardware. The padded Floor-Tom legs of the Mapex Armory Drums have the same function.
