The Armory Series is the latest realization of the Mapex hybrid shell concept. Unleash the perfect fusion of tonal expression with the Mapex AR504SUM Armory Maple/Birch 5-Piece Fusion Shell Pack Ultra Marine. This drum kit is a masterful blend of birch and maple, delivering unparalleled resonance and punch. The innovative SONIClear bearing edge is a standard feature on all Armory shells, allowing the drumhead to sit flat and optimize the relationship between head and shell for a stronger fundamental pitch, consistent tuning, and an expanded tuning range. The Tomohaw snare, equipped with a 1mm steel shell, takes center stage with penetrating accuracy and long-range projection. Its rim shot packs a focused power that's truly devastating, making it an essential component for the serious player. Straight from the Saturn V Series, the SONIClear Suspension System on the rack toms enhances overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell, preventing energy transfer to the hardware. The result is a drum kit that speaks quickly and projects clearly, reminiscent of old-world drum craftsmanship. The Insulated Bass Drum Claws, featuring rubber gaskets, protect the hoop from damage and eliminate rattling or buzzing during extended play. The SONIClear Floor Tom Feet provide stable support while enhancing punch and body, preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the floor. The 6-ply 7.2mm Birch/Maple/Birch Hybrid Shells are a testament to Mapex's craftsmanship, delivering a tone that's rich, resonant, and punchy. The Olive Wood Veneer with sophisticated lacquered finish adds a touch of elegance, making this kit stand out on any stage. Virgin Bass Drums, standard in all configurations, provide increased body and low-end kick sound. SONIClear Tom Holders offer ultimate setup flexibility. At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Mapex Armory Maple/Birch Fusion Shell Pack for its outstanding craftsmanship, delivering a drumming experience that's both powerful and nuanced, at an affordable price.

K Constantinople cymbals speak with the dark warm sound associated with Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey in the first half of the 20th Century. "Old Ks" first resurfaced during the 1950s and 1960s in set-ups of bebop era vanguard drummers like Elvin Jones.
K Constantinoples are hand-lathed by skilled artisans using old-style cutting tools. Pits and other surface impurities, that modern finishing processes remove, are retained, preserving the original tonal quality.

Evans Genera snare heads feature a single ply of 10mil film in combination with a 2mil overtone control ring on the underside that "floats" with the head, eliminating excessive overtones and controlling sustain. Evans Level 360 technology is incorporated to extend the level playing surface of the drumhead, 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in: ease of tuning, extended pitch range and optimum quality of sound. Evans Level 360 technology resolves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting the drum shell without using considerable force. Learn More

When SABIAN introduced the AAX Omni in 2010, never had so much sonic contrast and versatility existed in just one cymbal. With the launch of a new HHX Omni, Jojo Mayer and SABIAN have taken those same sonic properties to a whole new level. While both the AAX and HHX deliver outstanding contrast and versatility, the new dark Omni provides more nuanced tone on the ride surface. This means the stick sound stays a safe distance from the body, refusing to get swallowed up no matter how loudly it’s played. It also adds the dimension of playing with the shoulder, which not only has a wonderful texture, but also excites more of the cymbal’s body without activating the crash. The 22” HHX Omni delivers the ultimate in sonic contrast and versatility, both on its own or with other cymbals. It’s a go-anywhere-play-anywhere cymbal, and you can play any gig with the HHX Omni.
