Mapex Horizon HZB drumstel

General

With the Horizon HZB series, Mapex has succeeded in raising the bar for the quality level of beginner's drum sets a considerable amount. They look better and they sound better - a deadly combination. Therefore, the Mapex Horizon HZB drum set in Transparent Cherry Red definitely comes highly recommended. And that is not in the least because of the introduction of Mapex' sound-improving ITS system.

ITS

ITS stands for Isolated Tom Mounting System, and as the name suggests, the suspended toms are isolated, allowing them to resonate freely. The result: a dramatically improved sound. That improvement is supported by the Remo drumheads that the drums are fitted with. Remo is the world leader when it comes to drumheads, and the high-quality their heads exhibit will only benefit the sound of your kit. The cymbal felts have also been improved, allowing your cymbals to resonate better than ever before, and improving their sound as well.

Fusion kit

This fusion set consists of: a 22-inch bass drum, 10 and 12-inch toms and a shallow, 14-inch floor tom. It is great for a wide variety of musical styles, which makes it an ideal kit for practicing the wide variety of exercises that your drum teacher gives you. The deep bass drum gives your rhythms the power they need, while the toms are compact enough to keep from ringing on and on. This kit really does sound great, which will hopefully inspire you to put all those exercises into practice.

• Cymbals are not included with the drum set.
