Mapex Tornado Drum Kits – Buying Guide

Mapex drum kits range from affordable entry-level drum kits to professional more developed kits – we have drum kits to suit all budgets and experience levels.

A Mapex Tornado Drum Kit is an acoustic kit, a UK Best Seller for beginners – this is not to say that it lacks anything regarding quality or value. Mapex kits are manufactured exclusively and are built to a high level of quality, their production teams and experts can guarantee this.

The Mapex Tornado kits are highly durable sets that come with additional features that make it easier for you to take everything out the box and begin playing – this includes your cymbal stand, snare drum stand, drum pedal, throne, cymbal, drumsticks and your drum key. Everything you need to start your drumming experience.

So, what sets the Mapex Tornado out from the rest? Firstly, the quality of the wood has a massive impact on how the tone of your drums sound – whether you are hoping to achieve tight controlled tones or shallow tones – the kit is easily tuneable so you are able to adjust to your own preference. The quality of the wood and the higher the ply is reflected in the pricing, if you are shopping for a higher quality wood for the shell of your drum, then the pricing will be higher as the quality is increased.

The hardware on the drums is also a key element to consider when browsing before buying, the thicker the metal, the higher the quality of drums is. If you want to be able to have the freedom to adjust your kit to be comfortable and practical then consider having ball joints on your kit instead of hexagonal which will not give you the freedom you may want and need.

The Mapex Tornado kit is double braced therefore you will have a sturdier kit as stands are built like tripods, this, however, does not mean that without this element the stands are flimsy and unsupported, they are still of great quality!

So, when shopping for your Mapex Kit, the three main elements to consider are:

• Quality of Wood
• Hardware
• Mechanisms
