Mapex Mars Birch 8x7 Tom Pack Including TH800 Holder in Diamond Sparkle

The Mapex Mars Birch 8 x 7 Tom Drum in Diamond Sparkle is a compact, punchy rack tom that delivers fast, focused attack and clear projection. Built from 100 percent birch with Mapexs advanced SONIClear features, it is designed to tune easily, sit perfectly in a mix and add a bright, modern voice to any Mars kit or hybrid set up.

Whether you are expanding an existing Mars shell pack or building a compact, versatile rig, this 8 inch tom gives you tight, articulate tones for grooves, fills and accents. The Diamond Sparkle finish looks stunning under stage lights, while the SONIClear Bearing Edge and Suspension System help the drum sing freely with a wide, usable tuning range.

Fast, Focused Birch Tone

The 6 ply, 100 percent birch shell gives this tom its signature quick response and clear, cutting character. Birch naturally emphasises attack and upper mids, so every stroke speaks with definition, making it ideal for articulate patterns and fast fills. At the same time, the shell construction supports a solid fundamental, so the drum still feels full and musical at a range of tunings.

SONIClear Bearing Edge for Easy Tuning

Mapexs SONIClear Bearing Edge allows the head to sit flatter on the shell, improving contact and helping the drum find its fundamental pitch more easily. This makes tuning quicker and more consistent, even if you are not an experienced tuner. The improved head to shell connection also expands the tuning range, so you can go from tight and high for pop and fusion to lower, fatter tones without losing clarity.

Resonant SONIClear Suspension System

Borrowed from the higher end Saturn series, the SONIClear Suspension System supports the tom without choking it. By isolating the shell from the mounting hardware, more of the vibration stays in the drum, increasing sustain and resonance. The result is a more open, lively tone that still retains the focus and punch that Mars birch shells are known for.

Diamond Sparkle Stage Presence

The Diamond Sparkle finish gives this tom a bold, eye catching look that works just as well under stage lighting as it does in the studio. It is a great way to add visual impact to your kit while keeping a cohesive, professional appearance with other Mars Diamond Sparkle drums. The compact 8 x 7 size also makes it easy to position comfortably over your bass drum or as part of a multi tom set up.

• 100 Percent Birch 6 Ply Shell - The all birch construction delivers a fast, focused attack with bright, punchy overtones. This helps your tom cut through guitars and keys while still offering enough body to feel solid and musical in any style.
• SONIClear Bearing Edge - The SONIClear edge lets the head sit flatter on the shell for better contact, giving you a stronger fundamental note and making tuning more straightforward. You spend less time chasing dead spots and more time playing a drum that responds consistently across the head.
• SONIClear Suspension System - By isolating the tom from the mounting hardware, the SONIClear Suspension System preserves shell and head vibration. This increases resonance and sustain, so the drum sounds bigger and more open without sacrificing the precision and control that birch provides.
• Compact 8 x 7 Size with Diamond Sparkle Finish - The 8 inch diameter and 7 inch depth offer a tight, articulate voice that is perfect for high pitched accents and melodic tom runs. Paired with the Diamond Sparkle finish, it adds both sonic versatility and visual flair to your existing Mars set up.
