The Armory Series is the latest realization of the Mapex hybrid shell concept. A fusion of birch and maple delivers the ultimate tonal expression, and the SONIClear bearing edge allows the drumhead to sit flat, bringing out the best response by optimizing the relationship between head and shell.

FEATURES:

  • The Birch/Maple/Birch 6 ply 7.2mm shell with the new SONIClear Bearing Edge allows for the direct transmission of sound, reduces unwanted frequencies and provides a strong fundamental pitch and an effortless tuning experience especially at lower tunings.

  • This 6-piece shell pack includes 10" and 12" stand mounted rack toms, 14" and 16" floor toms, 14" snare drum and a 22"x 18" kick.

  • The SONIClear tom suspension and floor tom feet increase overall resonance by preserving vibration in the shell and keeping stress away from the tension rods, helping the heads stay in tune.

SPECS:

• 22"x 18", 10"x 7", 12"x 8", 14"x 12", 16"x 14", 14"x 5.5"
• Birch/Maple/Birch Shells
• 6 Ply 7.2mm Shells
• SONIClear Tom Suspension
• Finish/Hardware Options: Black Dawn (Black), Ultramarine, Purple Haze, Emerald Burst, Redwood Burst (Chrome)
• SONIClear Floor Tom Feet
• Low-Contact Bass Drum Claws
• Included Armory Tomahawk Snare Drum
• Focused, Tonal, and Responsive
• SONIClear Bearing Edge

*This kit is shown with MPX-HP8005EB Mapex hardware kit - not included. Cymbals also sold separately.

Definitely the biggest bang for the buck out there! I chose to purchase the Falcon Hardware and upgraded the heads and rims to bring the kit to a comfortable level for me! After all that I still saved money! The finishes are amazing and I love the birch/maple blend shells with the soniclear edges! Slap some great cymbals on and maybe a killer snare of choice and you’re set! Still have cash for a brick of sticks! A beautiful drum kit that sounds awesome! Love it!

What a great kit at a great price. I have owned this kit for about a year now. I use it for live shows and in the studio. It is a great sounding kit, very easy to tune and very well made. I get compliments on it almost every time I play.

I had my eye on this kit for ages, and finally got it. Its great for the price, and the extra Tom is great too. The rack toms are kinda hard to put on, by other wise great kit!

Nice set of drums! Very full sounding! There are a few quirks with these drums though. First, when loosening the floor tom legs, the legs seem to stick even when fully loosened. They will finally break free once you wiggle the leg a bit. Second, the rack mount tom attachment hardware is kind of hard to work with when adjusting the angle of the drum just because of the way it hangs. But, these two things aside, for what you get, its a pretty good deal!

A pro sounding kit with pro quality hardware for the price of an intermediate kit. Mapex hits another home run!! If you've been considering this kit, buy it. I've sat on a 6000 dollar DW kit and honestly, didn't feel like the quality and sound we're much different. Awesome job Mapex!!!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
