Mapex Meridian Maple bass drum 22 x 18 inches Midnight Steel: features

This 22 x 18-inch bass drum has special lugs that make minimal contact with the shell. These single-point-of-contact lugs, as Mapex calls them, allow the shell to resonate freely, enhancing its sound. Furthermore, the bass drum is fitted with lined claw hooks, that do not damage the hoop of the drum and will not start rattling as you play.

Finally, the beautiful finish is worth mentioning. All lacquer finishes in the Meridian series are applied by hand, and this sleek Midnight Steel finish makes this drum a real eye-catcher.
