Mapex Shell Packs

No other instrument could take the place of percussion. Drums have a sound that's all their own, and since they set the pacing and rhythm of a song, they're the most fundamental part of any band. One of the best things about drums is customizability, since you're free to put together your ideal setup based entirely on your wants and preferences - for that, Mapex shell packs are the perfect starting point.

There aren't many names in the drumming community as well-known as Mapex, except maybe some of the artists who trust these drums onstage themselves: Nick D'Virgilio, Chris Adler and Chris Pennie, for example. The fact that these world-class drummers rock Mapex percussion is the first sign that you're looking at an amazing selection of shell packs.

For any drummer who wants total control over what surrounds the throne, a shell pack is the smartest way to buy a set of drums. Each of these sets includes a full loadout of Mapex shells with just basic hardware. That means you're free to use them with any stands or racks you choose, so there's no limit on the layouts that you can build with and around your new Mapex drums.

If you're a professional drummer or even a simple hobbyist with discerning tastes, a good place to start is by checking out the Mapex Saturn IV series. Using a unique dual-wood construction method and available in versions fine-tuned for the best sound in a variety of genres, they're the ultimate shell packs for serious drumming. On the other hand, if you're new to percussion and you need an affordable starter set with the same high standard for quality, you'll want to take a look at entry-level models like the Mars series.

Whatever your skill level and playing style, there is bound to be a Mapex shell pack here that's perfect for you. So don't hesitate to start searching through the options - chances are that you'll know the right shells the moment you see them.
