Mapex Introduces New Pro M Configurations And New Exclusive Finishes

January 21, 2006

Mapex has added two new configurations to its all maple Pro M series of drums. Both configurations feature a cannon-like 22 x 20 bass drum. The four-piece Classic Configuration (PM4266A) consists of the 22 x 20 bass, a 12 x 9 tom tom, a 16 x 16 floor tom and a 14 x 7-inch snare drum.

In 2006, the Classic configuration is available in two new exclusive sparkle lacquer finishes. Bermuda Sparkle and Platinum Sparkle are vibrant, irresistible finishes for a drum set that was born to rock.

For those looking for a huge rock sound, the Classic Plus (PM6296A) is a beast of a kit. In addition to the 22 x 20 kick, the Classic Plus includes 12 x 9 and 13 x 10 tom toms, 16 x 16 and 18 x 16 floor toms. The Classic Plus configuration is available in all nine standard Pro M finishes.

As an introductory incentive, Mapex is including a padded drum bag set with the purchase of a Classic or Classic Plus in 2006.

The Pro M features thin 7-ply, 6.1mm shells constructed of North American Maple. Five and six-piece sets are available and all come with double braced Mapex 550 Series Hardware and the newly upgraded double chain P750A bass drum pedal.

The Pro M Classic carries an MSRP of $1,829.00 and the Classic Plus has a retail price of $2,229.00. Both configurations are scheduled to arrive at authorized dealer locations in January 2006.
