General
The complete five-piece Mapex Venus Stage drum kit doesn't just comes bundled up with a full hardware and cymbal pack, but each drum comes dipped in a gig-ready finish. The 9-ply, 7.2 millimetre-thick poplar shell walls shape focussed and warm, punching attack, followed by minimal resonance to keep the sound tight and aid smooth tuning, which, coupled with the pre-installed set of Remo drumheads, can be adapted to fit virtually any playing style and any genre, whether it's pop, rock, hip-hop or electro.
The Mapex Venus Stage 5-Piece Drum Kit
In terms of setup, the Stage kit has a hybrid rock/fusion configuration, so the bass drum is slightly heavier at 22 inches by 16 inches to lay down a big and fat kick sound, while the larger 16 inch by 14 inch floor tom guarantees some bombastic fills, and the rack toms feature slightly shallower dimensions at 10 inches by 7 inches and 12 inches by 8 inches, supporting musical dynamics. The included hardware pack completes this kit with a snare stand, boom cymbal stand, a hi-hat stand and even a drum throne, a kick pedal, a TH652 dual tom mount and a set of drumsticks. Polish everything off with the included Mapex Hammered Brass 14 inch hi-hat and 16 inch crash/ride and you're 100% gig-ready.
