Mapex takes intermediate drums up several notches.

New for 2009, the Mapex Meridian Maple SRO 5-Piece Shell Pack ushers in a new level of quality and functionality in mid-level, all maple drum sets. With a completely new lug and redesigned lightweight Isolated Tom Mounting System, the Meridian Series features bright and resonant all maple shells in a wide selection of lacquered and covered finishes.

Along with the introduction of the Meridian Series comes the introduction of Mapex's newly designed Isolated Tom Mount System. This version of the system is significantly lighter in weight and lower in profile than before and is more easily mounted and adjusted.

Additionally, the unique Mapex off-the-shell design and single-point-of-contact lugs distribute tension evenly across the shell for even better resonance and sustain.

Hardware pack sold separately.
