Specification
Mapex Meridian Birch Series 20" or 22" Fusion Set and 22" Rock Set with Hardware & Throne

Mapex USA announced the introduction of the Meridian Birch Drum Set series, an entirely new product line for 2009. All Meridian drum sets feature newly designed appointments, including lugs, mounts, badges and bass drum claws.

The Meridian Birch features 6-ply, 7.2mm, all birch shells with newly designed lugs for overall lower mass. Meridian Birch drums also feature Mapex 2.3mm Steel Powerhoops and Remo® UT heads. The Meridian Series' bass drum claws are newly designed to be low in profile and include rubber gaskets to protect the bass drum hoops. The bass drum's tom mount features new styling and a recessed adapter to accommodate an optional cymbal arm. For the introduction of the Meridian Series, Mapex has re-engineered its Isolated Tom Mounting System. The improved system employs Mapex's unique combination of off-the-shell mounting hardware and single-point-of-contact lugs. The shell vibrates more freely, thereby improving sustain and resonance. The new Isolated Tom Mount System is significantly lighter and lower in profile than previous versions, also making precise positioning much easier.

Meridian drum sets feature newly designed Mapex 700 Series Hardware. The 700 Series has many features that are new to Mapex hardware including the Super-Glide stepless cymbal tilter and Multi-sustain Cymbal Felts, that allow the player to use any combination of plastic or felt on their cymbal stands for more precise sustain.
