Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit

With design features drawn from Mapex's higher priced Meridian Series Drums and with improvements on the popular Mapex VXB and M Birch ranges, the Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit in Rattan Yellow represents another major step forward in high quality, affordable drum kits.  An entirely new drum series for 2010, the Horizon Lacquer series' birch/basswood drums feature newly designed appointments, including lugs, mounts, badges, and bass drum claws.

The Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit features 7.2mm, Birch basswood mixed shells with newly designed, low mass lugs. These small profile lugs are mounted to the shell using only a single point of contact, minimizing the holes drilled into the shell and thereby enhancing resonance. Horizon Series drums also Remo® drumheads, including a self-muffling bass drum batter head.

The Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit bass drum claws are newly designed to be low in profile and include cushioned gaskets to protect the bass drum hoops. The bass drum’s tom mount features new styling and a built-in adapter to accommodate an optional cymbal arm.

Every busy player needs a set for gigs where getting in and out quickly is important, but sounding your best is critical. The Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit is ideal for clubs and events where space is tight and loading and unloading needs to be quick and efficient. Once you’re playing, you’ll be completely knocked out with the tone and response that the birch and basswood shells deliver. From subtle brush work to lively pop licks, the Mapex Horizon HZB Lacquer 18" Jazz Kit performs flawlessly and the 18-inch kick drum features a distinctively designed retro-style front white head.
