Mapex Saturn Maple/Walnut Drum Kit 22" Shell Pack – Night Forest Burst
The Mapex Saturn Maple/Walnut 22" Drum Kit Shell Pack in Night Forest Burst combines the unmistakable sound of Mapex's renowned hybrid shells with professional-level construction and a striking premium finish. Built for serious live and studio performance, the Saturn delivers a powerful, warm and highly versatile drum sound with exceptional low-end depth.
At the heart of the Mapex Saturn Series is its signature maple and walnut hybrid shell construction. Maple brings warmth, projection and clarity, while walnut adds depth and a rich low-frequency character. Together, they produce the full-bodied, punchy sound that has made Saturn one of Mapex's most recognised professional drum ranges.
Whether tuned low and powerful or tighter for greater articulation, the Saturn offers a broad usable tuning range suitable for everything from rock and pop to funk, fusion, alternative music and professional session work.
Maple/Walnut Hybrid Shells
The defining feature of the Mapex Saturn is its maple/walnut shell formula.
By combining maple with walnut, Mapex creates a shell with the warmth and projection expected from maple while introducing additional depth and low-end richness. The result is a powerful fundamental note with plenty of body, punch and tonal character.
This makes the Saturn particularly effective both on stage and in the studio, where its strong fundamental tone allows the drums to remain clear and defined within a full mix.
SONIClear Bearing Edges
Mapex SONIClear bearing edges are designed to optimise contact between the drumhead and shell, helping the drums tune easily while encouraging a strong fundamental note and consistent response.
The result is excellent tuning stability and a broad tonal range, allowing the Saturn to perform equally well with deep, resonant tuning or a tighter and more controlled setup.
22" Bass Drum Configuration
Built around a 22" bass drum, this Mapex Saturn shell pack provides the punch, projection and low-end presence required for contemporary live and studio performance.
The 22" configuration is an exceptionally versatile choice, offering enough power for rock and heavier playing while remaining controlled and responsive enough for pop, funk, fusion and session work.
Night Forest Burst Finish
The Night Forest Burst finish gives this Saturn shell pack a distinctive, sophisticated appearance designed to complement its professional specification.
The deep burst effect creates a dramatic look with plenty of depth and character, giving the kit a premium aesthetic that stands out under stage lighting without becoming overly flashy.
