Juliet, TN – July 11, 2013 – The Mapex Drum Company has revolutionized their flagship Saturn line and introduced the Saturn IV series of drum kits at Winter NAMM, and will be displaying them at Summer NAMM. Together with respected artists around the globe, the Mapex team has created the next evolution of the Saturn line, featuring a host of upgrades including: SONIClear™ tom suspension, SONIClear™ floor tom legs, low-contact bass drum claws, Memory Mark™ bass drum spurs, new style-badge and lug casing , free-floating bass drum mount (optional), and some really striking new finishes. While holding true to the Maple/Walnut hybrid shell formula that's made Saturn a unique and respected pro-level kit, the new look and features mark a significant departure from the Saturn (and Mapex) of old. The new Saturn kits are available in stores now. Saturn fans now have a choice between 2 different editions and price points within the Saturn range: The Saturn MH Edition and The MH Exotic Edition. The Saturn MH Edition: Features the famous Mapex 6-Ply snares and toms, and 8-ply bass drums constructed of North American Maple and Walnut Hybrid shells with chrome hardware, Remo Emperor Clear Batter Drumheads, and Remo P3 Batter Bass Drumheads. The Saturn MH Series is available in 6 new color finishes: Merlot Burst; Granite Sparkle; Red Strata Pearl wrap; Transparent Espresso Walnut; Red & Blue Hybrid Sparkle; and Marine Spiral wrap. The Saturn MH Exotic Series: Features the same specifications as the Saturn MH Series but have an outer ply of exotic wood veneer and all come standard with Black Chrome hardware, adding to the high- end look of Saturn IV. The Saturn MH Exotic Series are available in 5 new lacquer finishes with very pronounced figuring: Satin Black Maple Burl; Cherry Mist Rosewood Burl; Natural Ash Burl; Deep Water Ash Burl; and Transparent Ash Burl Burst. The new features and finishes on Saturn IV are a continuation of the major R&D and Marketing direction changes for Mapex. "We've watched as most drum companies have tried to cut corners on their premium kits in order to hit the lower price points necessitated by the sluggish economy. Mapex has historically been priced aggressively, so we've taken the opposite approach from other brands by adding significant form and function value to our pro line while maintaining our consumer-affordable pricing" says Michael Robinson, KHS Director of Marketing.

  • Troška Histrorie
    TROŠKA HISTORIE, NIKOHO NEZABIJE....... jak se říká "trocha historie nikoho nezabije" a je dobré vědět kdo nám ty kýble strouhá Leedy Drums Ulysses Grant Leedy začal svou kariéru počátkem devadesátých let devatenáctého století jako perkusionista v Indianapolis. Osobní založení a zájem vyrábět lepší nástroje ho však vedlo k tomu, že s podporou svých přátel a kolegů roku 1888 založil Leedy Drums Company a začal vyrábět své vlastní – nejprve stojany malých bubínku a posléze i samotné bubínky. Kredit mu vynesly zejména upravitelné malé bubínky (do té doby se SD pokládaly na židle nebo visely na popruhu. Rychlý úspěch vedl k výstavbě výrobny a k expanzi produktové linie zahrnující blány na bubny a rozmanité orchestrální perkusní nástroje a doplňky. Leedy rovněž začal prodávat své produkty ve velkém po celé zemi. V roce 1909, kdy svou společnost založili bratři Ludwigové, se právě oni stali agentem Leedy drums v Chicagu. Ludwigové později začali vyrábět své vlastní nástroje a Leedy drums přerostli. Ve dvacátých letech dvacátého století Leedy naplnil potřebu vlastního prodejního managementu a zaměstnal Georgie Waye, který měl svou vlastní společnost vyrábějící bicí v Kanadě. Mimo svých prodejních schopnosti měl Way i technické znalosti, které uplatnil při četných inovacích u Leedy drums, které jednou pro vždy změnily výrobu bicích. Zhoršující se zdravotní stav přinutil Leedyho svou společnost roku 1929 prodat. Novým majitelem se stal GC Bonn Manufacturing Co., jež později koupila i Ludwig drum company. Sled událostí, které odstartovala 2.světová válka vyústil v prodeji divize Leedy & Ludwig Drum zpět do rodiny Ludwigů. William F. Ludwig Jr. ze společnosti WFL drum a Bud Slingerland spojili své síly a odkoupili upadající Connův podnik.

    step inside the mind of mapex KEVIN MILLER FUEL Drummers aren’t like other musicians. They give life an extra squeeze. Creative, explosive, obsessed, passionate, persistent, constantly striving – drummers are the band’s energy source… and not just because they love what they’re doing… they’re also tuned in to other people. Drummers want everyone to feel the groove. And creating the groove is what they do. The downbeat, the 2 and 4, is the foundation of the song. It all begins with the drummer, the heart of the band. Mapex is not like other drum companies. We don’t like to leave things as they are. If a player can imagine it, we can create it. And, you know, drummers are very imaginative. Because our own craftsmen make every drum we sell, we completely control the creative process. That’s why Mapex is not just what’s new, Mapex is what’s better.
