Mapex Saturn IV MH Jazz Exotic 504XB 4pc Drum Set |

Many of the ultra-premium drums on the market feature the familiar all-maple or all-birch shells, which are great options for getting a great sound but not quite as exciting as the many hybrid shells and custom wood shells that are being thought up by companies like Yamaha. |

With the 2013 revamp of their Saturn Series of Drum Sets, Mapex has taken an already fantastic kit and made it incredible. The attention to detail on this Mapex Saturn IV MH line is simply mind-blowing. |
