VX Series If you want to look like every other player out there, then the VX Plasma is probably not for you. However if you’re the kind of drummer that, well, marches to your own beat, then Mapex has something for you.
We start with thin, genuine basswood shells and using a unique eight-step finishing process, give them a three-dimensional textured lacquer surface that’s unlike any other. What’s more, the VX comes with everything you need to start creating the moment you open the box. VX Plasma drum sets includes drums, double braced hardware, throne and quality Chin-Dal cast cymbals and a padded cymbal bag.

QR Series The QR features 9-ply, 7.2mm basswood shells with low density, single-point-of-contact lugs and the Mapex Isolated Tom System (ITS). Mapex ITS eliminates direct contact between the tom mount and the drum, allowing the shell to vibrate more freely and therefore, resonate more naturally. The system is successfully used on many other Mapex Drums, including the M Birch, Pro M, Saturn and the top-of-line Orion Series. The QR Series is available in three five-piece configurations. The Standard configuration (QR5254TC) comes with a 22 x 16 bass drum, 12 x 9 and 13 x 10 tom toms, a 16 x 16 floor tom, and a 14 x 5.5 snare drum. The Fusionease configuration includes a 22 x 16 bass drum, 10 x 8 and 12 x 9 tom toms, a 14 x 14 floor tom and a 14 x 5.5 snare drum. Mapex also offer the QR in the company's popular Voyager configuration. Voyager comes with an 18 x 16 bass, 10 x 8 and 12 x 9 tom toms, a 14 x 14 floor tom and a 14 x 5.5 snare drum. MSRP for each of the three configurations kit is $726.00. |

Absolute Birch Aluminum die cast hoops give Yamaha Absolute Birch Bass Drums the benefit of accurate tuning. While die cast hoops are known for accuracy, aluminum hoops are lighter than zinc, so they don't choke the drum like die cast zinc hoops do. Aluminum die cast hoops allow the drum to open up much like a triple-flanged hoop. Yamaha Absolute Birch Bass Drum Features:

Winner of a 2003 MiPA award, it's a uniquely designed, shallow, portable conga now available in 2 sizes. Constructed with a special aluminum alloy frame, it features a synthetic head for tuning stability and may be played onstage, in the studio, or anywhere quiet practice is necessary or a full-sized conga is impractical. Mountable on any standard snare stand, it can be used separately or incorporated into a full percussion setup where space is at a premium.
LP Giovanni CongasHand crafted of premium environmentally friendly North American Ash wood, these 30" tall drums have resonance, attack and warmth found in no other conga. The LP Galaxy Giovanni Series Congas yield commanding bass, rich mid tones and crackling highs with attention getting projection. Each drum is crafted with LP's exclusive construction process using three plies of wood which are assembled utilizing internal steel pins for reinforcement. All of the natural colors and tones of this premium wood shine through the rich, deep gloss finish. These drums are accented by gleaming, gold tone hardware and feature LP's improved patented Extended Collar Comfort Curve® II Rims which increase tonal range. The drums are topped with all natural hand picked rawhide heads. In response to design specifications from Giovanni, the LP Galaxy Giovanni Series drums feature heavy duty hardware including stronger 3/8" diameter tuning lugs and reinforced LP Heart® Side Plates, each secured with three bolts and a backing plate. LP has also utilized Giovanni's input to create the exclusive Requinto - the most amazing single conga ever. The combination of the 9-3/4" head size, the afore mentioned shell contour, and hardware geometry provide the broadest range of tone available in a single drum. It blends deep bass tones, smooth open tones and clean slaps into one powerful drum. According to Giovanni, "If I could take only one drum on a gig, it would be the Requinto!" Each LP Galaxy Giovanni Series Conga comes complete with LP Galaxy Procare Integrated Shell Protectors that prevent the side plate hardware from marking or damaging adjacent drums. This new compact design offers maximum protection without detracting from the drum's beauty. An accessory pouch, a tuning wrench and LP Lug Lube are also included.
