    I knew if you reviewed this kit you would dig it. I've never been good at tuning. When I got my MARS kit home I put EVANS g2's on the batter and g1's on the resonat side my jaw hit the floor! I couldn't believe I made those drums sound that good. Then I realized it was the drums, more particular the SONICLEAR bearing edges. MAPEX is doing a lot of really good things. They are definitely underrated.

    I really think Mapex gets a bit of a bad wrap for being associated with some their much lower end beginner kits, but I think in the intermediate range, they really do provide the best value. I played Mapex Pro M and Meridian Maple drums for years for live and studio use, and they are simply affordable, well built, great modern-sounding drums.

    Georgeous but... don't like wrap finish. No covering... miss Meridian Birch. No ball mount, no, no... all the drum manufacturer... They can do better.

    I love to see review's on kits in these lower price points.I sincerely hope all drummers someday get there dream kit.Until they do,there are a lot of drum companies offering great kits at very affordable prices.For years I've been preaching to younger players and people on tight budgets to consider a kit like this and spend your money on good quality cymbals. You can usually make a less expensive kit sound good by replacing the heads ,but cymbals they are what they are.!!! I sincerely hope someday the cymbal companies offer something affordable that sounds as good as some of the kits that are being produced now days.!!!

    I have a Mars kit and it is better than anything I have owned before and I love it! I got this kit at a steal barely used with stock everything. I took it home was not really impressed with stock heads I got Evans G2 double plys for the top kept the stock rezzies on the bottom and what a huge difference! Once I played them like this I went back to the store where I got them and ordered an 18 by 18 floor Tom to go with it and started buying the rest of the hardware to complete the kit I have 10”, 12”, 16” floor 18” floor 14” snare and 22” kick Mapex double kick pedals and a set of roto toms to go with it. I like the blood wood finish and the entire kit has performed better than I could have imagined! I had a chance to switch to Tama which is my all time fave manufacturers for drums I kept the Mars kit and have been real happy that I did. I have also played these with a complete set of Evans hydraulic Red drum heads this drum set looks insane with them on! They are not as sensitive as regular 2 plys but sound good on my kit tuned with a tunebot tuner there is a lot of room on this kit to play with. I have them in my studio and play them daily. This drum set far surpasses all my older drum sets Mapex has put out a real nice drum set super affordable did not have to part with a leg or an arm to get one. I though these were just no namer shit drums when I got them BOY! I was never so happy to be that wrong in my life, great drums. Thanks Mapex!

    These sound amazing! I found Mapex drums because that is what Arch Echo's drummer plays, and his drums always sound amazing. I love their overall sound profile.

    My kit is Mapex Mars. Toms ranging in size from 8”-18” depending on the setup. I am floored at how great they all sound. Easy to tune. Great projection and they record SO WELL.

    They're introducing 'bop' sizing in this line soon. Pretty excited to see those out in the wild.

    I have a Saturn V and I've been thinking about getting a Mars kit for smaller gigs. Thanks for the review, you took any doubt out of my mind. I'll add one of my Mapex Black Panther snares, new heads and this kit will be singing!!

    Love the reviews. I found the Mapex Mars rock shell pack for an insane deal brand new. So I picked it up. This review helped me make my decision!
