Mapex Lights up the Sky with the all-new Comet Series

today2 April, 2024

Background

Building on the legacy of our market leading Tornado by Mapex series, the Comet’s “sound-first” design philosophy brings the acclaimed SONIClear bearing edges, found throughout the Mapex lineup, to this new affordable kit. The SONIClear bearing edge ensures optimal fit of the drumhead to the shell, for ease of tuning and sound that is sure to inspire. The results of this segment-leading specification are sure to bring smiles to the faces of all who sit down at a Comet kit for the first time.

“Mapex is dedicated to a sound-first principle in all product development,” states Mapex USA Brand Manager Jeff Mulvihill. “For others, sound isn’t always the priority when instruments are developed for this segment of the market, but we give the same amount of thought to SOUND as we do to functions, features, and prices to present an extremely high-value experience, sure to produce Drummers for Life.”

A complete package, the new Comet Series offers a range of popular configurations, from the 18” junior kit to the 22” rock kit, all featuring SONIClear Bearing Edges for class-leading tone and no-nonsense tuning. All Comet drum sets come complete with a full complement of hardware, pedal, drum throne, cymbals, stylish finishes and a first pair of drumsticks.
