Description

JustDrums are excited to introduce the Mapex Armory 20″ Fusion Acoustic Shell Pack in Blue Wave Burst by Drum Kits Drum Kit . Ready to be delivered to any location in the UK.

The Mapex Armory Series 5 Piece 20″ Fusion Shell Pack in Blue Wave Burst brings hybrid shell technology, pro-level hardware and a stunning high gloss finish into an accessible, gig-ready kit. With a compact 20″ bass drum, versatile fusion tom sizes and the powerful Armory Tomahawk snare included, this shell pack is built to cover everything from tight studio sessions to energetic live shows.

At the heart of the kit is Mapex Hybrid Technology, combining birch and maple plies for a punchy, articulate sound with musical warmth and depth. SONIClear bearing edges and suspension mounts make tuning effortless and help every drum sing, while thoughtful hardware touches like insulated bass drum claws and low mass nutboxes keep the kit resonant and roadworthy. Finished in a striking Blue Wave Burst over olivewood outer veneers, it looks every bit as serious as it sounds.

Hybrid Birch and Maple Shells

The Armory Series uses M.H.T (Mapex Hybrid Technology) 6 ply birch/maple/birch shells to balance attack and warmth. Birch delivers fast, focused punch and clear projection, while the inner maple adds body and musical low-end. The result is a kit that cuts through a mix without sounding harsh, ideal for modern rock, pop, worship and studio work.

SONIClear Bearing Edges and Mounts

SONIClear bearing edges allow the drumhead to sit perfectly flat on the shell, improving contact and making tuning quicker and more consistent across the kit. Paired with SONIClear suspension mounts and SONIClear floor tom feet, the shells are allowed to resonate more freely, giving you fuller tone, better sustain and a wider tuning range with less effort.

Armory Tomahawk Snare Included

This shell pack comes complete with the Armory Tomahawk snare drum, giving you a powerful, cutting backbeat straight out of the box. Designed to complement the hybrid toms and bass drum, the Tomahawk offers crisp articulation and strong projection, making it equally at home in the rehearsal room, studio or on stage.

Premium Look and Practical Hardware

High gloss lacquer finishes over olivewood outer veneers give the Blue Wave Burst kit a premium, boutique aesthetic. Practical hardware appointments such as the TH676 double tom holder with new memory lock design, low mass nutboxes and insulated bass drum claws make set-up repeatable, protect your shells and help maintain tuning stability, so you can focus on playing.

Key Features

  • M.H.T 6 Ply Birch/Maple/Birch Shells – Hybrid shells combine the punch and clarity of birch with the warmth and musicality of maple, giving you a versatile sound that works across genres and responds well to different tunings.
  • SONIClear Bearing Edges and Suspension – SONIClear edges, mounts and floor tom feet improve head-to-shell contact and resonance, making tuning easier and more accurate while enhancing sustain and tonal depth.
  • Armory Tomahawk Snare Drum – The included Tomahawk snare provides a focused, cutting voice that anchors your grooves and complements the tonal character of the toms and bass drum.
  • High Gloss Blue Wave Burst with Olivewood Veneers – A striking Blue Wave Burst finish over olivewood outer veneers delivers a sophisticated stage-ready look, matched with practical hardware like insulated bass drum claws and low mass nutboxes for reliable performance.

Drum Kits

Drum kits are the core of modern drumming, bringing together bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals, and hardware into a single playable instrument. A complete kit allows a drummer to cover rhythm, dynamics, and texture, forming the foundation of a band’s groove in styles ranging from rock and pop to jazz, metal, funk, and electronic-influenced music.

Drum kits come in many configurations and materials, including compact setups for small spaces, standard five-piece kits, and larger multi-tom arrangements. Shell materials such as maple, birch, mahogany, and hybrid constructions each influence tone, projection, and response. Acoustic kits are chosen for their natural feel and sound, while electronic and hybrid kits offer volume control, sound flexibility, and integration with modern music production.

Choosing a drum kit involves balancing sound, size, hardware quality, and playing style. Whether for practice, recording, or live performance, a well-matched drum kit provides consistent tuning, comfortable ergonomics, and a musical response that supports the drummer and the music they play.
