Mapex 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Drum Kit

This 30th Anniversary project is a tribute to three decades of uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship. We salute our craftsmen and the drummers who support and motivate us to explore limitless drum design possibilities in our pursuit of producing the ultimate acoustic experience.

To mark their 30^th anniversary this year, Mapex is releasing 300 limited edition drum sets and 600 limited edition snare drums. The all-maple limited edition drum sets are modeled after the classic Mapex Orion drum set of the 90s, but with modern touches. The limited edition snare drums are a tribute to the Deep Forest walnut snare drum of the 90s and emanate a rich, dark tone.

The MAPEX 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Drum Kit inherits the spirit of the “Orion Classic” series drum kit, the most representative sound of MAPEX drums in the 90s. This special anniversary drum kit is an all-maple kit, made of 100% North American Maple wood like those found in the original Orion Classic series. The sound characteristics of these classic drum shells provide Warmth, Presence, and Projection while the more modern features developed through the Mapex Design Lab enables the drum kit to produce an even warmer sound with minimum vibration transfer and maximum resonance, accommodating the most demanding player.
