The Armory Series is an exciting realization of the Mapex hybrid shell concept. A fusion of birch and maple delivers the ultimate tonal expression, and the SONIClear™ bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flat, bringing out the best response by optimizing the relationship between head and shell.

FEATURES 

• 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.

• 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.
