Mapex Armory Studioease 6-Piece Drum Shell Pack - Tanzanite Burst

Ready to elevate your sound from rehearsal room tightness to studio-ready precision? The Mapex Armory Series Studioease 6-piece shell pack brings hybrid shell performance into a configuration designed for players who move confidently between recording sessions and live stages. This setup includes a 22x18" bass drum, 10x7" and 12x8" rack toms, 14x12" and 16x14" floor toms with SONIClear Floor Tom Legs and a 14x5.5" Armory Tomahawk steel snare—forming a balanced layout that delivers punch, control and tonal flexibility. Built from 8-ply, 7.55 mm birch/maple/birch hybrid shells, the kit blends focused attack with warmth and projection, while SONIClear bearing edges promote consistent head seating and streamlined tuning. Finished in Blue Lagoon Fade or Desert Dusk—both Guitar Center Exclusives—the Studioease 6-piece shell pack configuration pairs modern tone with distinctive visual appeal.

Hybrid Shell Design Built for Articulation and Control

The Studioease shell pack is built around Mapex’s birch/maple/birch hybrid construction. Birch reinforces clarity and projection, helping each stroke maintain definition within dense mixes, while maple contributes warmth and body for a rounded tonal profile. The 8-ply 7.55 mm shell thickness supports structural stability and even resonance across toms and bass drum, allowing drummers to tune with confidence while preserving tonal consistency. This hybrid approach balances attack and sustain without sacrificing dynamic sensitivity.

SONIClear Technology and Performance Hardware

Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edge design improves the relationship between head and shell by encouraging a flatter seating surface. This enhances vibration transfer and simplifies the tuning process, making it easier to achieve a controlled, responsive feel. Floor toms feature SONIClear floor tom legs that help maintain resonance while providing dependable stability, and dual TH800 tom mounting hardware supports flexible positioning without compromising sustain. Together, these elements create a cohesive system designed for efficient setup and reliable performance.

Armory Tomahawk Steel Snare and Integrated Components

The included 14x5.5" Armory Tomahawk steel snare introduces a focused, articulate voice to the configuration. Its 1.0 mm stainless steel shell, rounded 45-degree bearing edge, solid steel Armory tube lugs and 2.3 mm power hoops contribute to defined attack and tuning stability. Remo drumheads are installed across the kit, including UT and UC bass heads and UC and UX tom heads, providing consistent response from the first session onward. Combined with the Studioease configuration, these components add up to a unified 6-piece shell pack engineered for clarity, balance and dependable performance.
