Product Description
The Mapex Saturn Evolution 22" Maple/Walnut Blend in Exotic Night Forest Burst is a professional drum kit designed for serious players who demand power, clarity and control. Its hybrid maple/walnut shells deliver a deep, musical low end with a crisp, articulate attack, while advanced features like the Halo mounting system, SONIClear bearing edges and Sonic Saver hoops let the drums sing freely and tune up quickly. Finished in a stunning Exotic Night Forest Burst lacquer, it looks every bit as premium as it sounds.
This configuration gives you a versatile 22x16 bass drum, 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms, plus a 16x14 floor tom, covering everything from tight, punchy fusion to wide open rock and pop. With carefully engineered shell thicknesses for each drum size, the kit responds beautifully at all dynamics, whether you are playing quietly in the studio or driving a loud stage mix.
Every detail of the Saturn Evolution series is built around maximising tone and feel. The shells are allowed to resonate naturally thanks to the Halo mounting system and optimised air venting, while SONIClear bearing edges make tuning intuitive and stable. Chrome hardware and Sonic Saver hoops complete a kit that is ready for demanding touring, session work and regular gigging.
Maple/Walnut Hybrid Shells
The maple/walnut blend shells give this Saturn Evolution kit its signature voice. Maple provides a balanced, musical tone with plenty of projection, while walnut adds warmth, low-end depth and a slightly darker character. The result is a kit that feels full and rich under the sticks, yet still cuts clearly through guitars, keys and bass in a live or studio mix.
Halo Mounting System
Mapex's Halo mounting system supports the toms without choking the shells, allowing them to resonate more freely. By reducing contact points and isolating the hardware from the shell, you get longer sustain, more natural overtones and a wider tuning range. It also keeps the drums stable and secure, so your setup feels solid and consistent night after night.
SONIClear Bearing Edges
SONIClear bearing edges are designed to let the drumhead sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. On the toms you get a 45° edge for clarity and attack, while the bass drum uses a 65° edge for extra punch and focus. This makes tuning quicker and more predictable, helping you find your sound fast and keep it locked in across different rooms and sessions.
Stage Ready Exotic Finish
The Exotic Night Forest Burst finish gives this kit a striking, high-end look that stands out under stage lights and in the studio. The deep, gradient burst and visible wood grain complement the premium construction, making the Saturn Evolution as visually impressive as it is sonically capable. It is a kit that looks completely at home in professional environments.
Features
- Maple/Walnut Hybrid Shells - The combination of maple and walnut delivers a powerful low end with a bright, defined attack, giving you a versatile sound that works across rock, pop, fusion and more while still feeling warm and musical.
