The Mapex M Birch Standard 5-piece Drum Set looks different from all the other drum sets which are in dark hues. This one is in Honey Amber, a sweet color that is the opposite of its playing capability which is more than just sweet.
This drum got its name thanks to the shells which made from multiple birch plies. Its great tone comes from an exterior maple veneer which does not only looks great but sounds great too.
The Mapex M Birch boasts of a a narrower mid range, an attack at the high end and a a punch at the bottom end of the play.
The secret to looking great? Eight coats of transparent lacquer that has been applied by hand to create a shell that looks and sounds great.
