The Mapex Mars Birch Crossover Drum Kit Shell Pack in Orange Sparkle combines punchy all-birch shells with a versatile 1 up, 2 down configuration, delivering a powerful acoustic drum setup with plenty of attack, projection and tonal range.
Featuring 100% European birch shells, the Mapex Mars produces a focused and articulate drum sound with a strong fundamental note. Birch is known for its punchy attack and controlled response, making this kit an excellent choice for rock, pop, indie, alternative, funk and a wide variety of contemporary styles.
The Crossover configuration provides an expanded selection of tom sizes, giving you greater flexibility when building the kit around your preferred setup.

Set the kit up with either rack tom for a classic 1 up, 2 down configuration, or incorporate both rack toms when you want an expanded setup with additional tonal range.
Anchoring the kit is a 22" bass drum, providing plenty of punch, projection and low-end presence for both live and studio applications.
100% European Birch Shells
At the heart of the Mapex Mars Birch Series are its all-birch shells.
Birch provides a naturally focused sound with strong attack, projection and definition, allowing the drums to remain clear within a busy band mix. The controlled tonal character also makes birch particularly effective for recording, where a defined fundamental note can make the kit easier to capture and mix.
Across the 10", 12", 14" and 16" toms, the Crossover configuration provides a wide tonal range from focused higher voices through to deep, powerful floor toms.
SONIClear Bearing Edges
Mapex SONIClear bearing edges help optimise contact between the drumhead and shell, encouraging consistent tuning, resonance and a strong fundamental note.
This gives the Mars Birch a broad usable tuning range, allowing the drums to perform beautifully whether tuned deep and powerful or tighter for greater articulation and definition.
Orange Sparkle Finish
The striking Orange Sparkle finish gives the Mapex Mars Birch Crossover a bold, stage-ready appearance.
The vibrant orange colour combined with the classic sparkle effect provides plenty of visual impact under stage lighting, making it an ideal choice for drummers who want their kit to stand out as much visually as it does sonically.
