Mapex Meridian Birch MR5245 5245 Transparent Midnight Black

General

Mapex drum sets are known to provide excellent value for money, and this five-piece kit lives up to that reputation. The Meridian Birch drum set in Transparent Midnight Black is equipped with the ITS system, just like the maple versions of the Meridian series are. ITS stands for Isolated Tom Mounting System and it allows your toms to resonate freely. In combination with the use of birch, this creates a great resonance and a remarkably open tone.

Mapex Meridian MR5245 Transparent Midnight Black: versatile

With a 22-inch bass drum, 10 and 12-inch toms, a 14-inch floor tom and a 14 x 5.5-inch snare drum, this is a fusion kit that is well-suited for a wide variety of musical styles. This is an ideal drum kit for both live applications as well as recording sessions. That is partly thanks to the 100% birch shells, which have a rich, clear tone with good decay and attack (particularly in the bass drum). The toms produce a bright, articulate sound and the just as clear-sounding snare drum has a very controlled decay.

Hardware

This kit comes with a set of hardware from Mapex' 700 series. You'll find robust stands for your hi-hat, cymbals and snare drum, as well as a sturdy bass drum pedal. For mounting your toms, you'll find the TH676 double tom holder. The hardware on the shells is nothing to scoff at, either: redesigned tom mounts, lugs and claw hooks with a rubber lining. That last feature prevents the hooks from damaging the wooden bass drum hoops. The toms and snare drum are fitted with the 2.3mm Mapex Powerhoops.
