Mapex Mars Birch Crossover 22" Acoustic Drum Kit in Sunflower Sparkle

The Mapex Mars Birch Crossover 22 in Sunflower Sparkle is a punchy, gig ready shell pack that gives advancing drummers a serious upgrade without breaking the bank. With 100 percent birch shells, modern SONIClear features and a powerful 1 up 2 down configuration, it is built to deliver a focused rock voice and an inspiring playing experience on stage or in the studio.

This 5 piece Crossover configuration partners a 22 inch bass drum with a single 12 inch rack tom and dual floor toms for maximum low end impact and an open, uncluttered feel around the kit. Finished in eye catching Sunflower Sparkle, it looks as bold as it sounds, while the matching snare drum and included tom holder keep your setup cohesive and practical.

100 Percent Birch Power

The Mars series uses 6 ply, 100 percent birch shells that naturally emphasise attack and high end clarity, with a tight, controlled low end. This makes the kit ideal for rock, pop and live work where you need your drums to cut through the mix with definition and presence, while still being easy to tune across a wide range.

SONIClear Bearing Edge and Suspension

Mapex’s SONIClear bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flatter on the shell, making tuning quicker, more consistent and more stable. Paired with the SONIClear suspension system on the rack tom, the shells are allowed to resonate more freely, giving you fuller tone, better sustain and less choking from hardware.

Crossover 1 Up 2 Down Configuration

The Crossover shell pack layout 22x18 bass drum, 12x8 rack tom, 14x12 and 16x14 floor toms is tailored for players who want a big rock sound with a single rack tom for improved ride cymbal placement. The extra floor tom gives you deeper, more powerful fills and a broader tonal palette without crowding your setup.

Stage Ready Sunflower Sparkle Finish

The Sunflower Sparkle wrap delivers a bright, modern look that pops under stage lights and in video. Combined with insulated bass drum claws and a matching 14x6.5 snare drum, the kit has a cohesive, professional aesthetic that looks as serious as it sounds.
