Every day,
hundreds of people around the world work to make sure that every Mapex product
makes your drumming experience the most satisfying part of your day.
From the engineers that lay out the original designs, to the skilled craftsmen that hand
build the product, to our dedicated network of independent retails that help you se-
lect the drum set that’s right for you — Mapex has an entire network of people that
want you to be happy with your drums.
All Mapex products are hand built and hand assembled by the artisans at its wholly
owned factory in Tianjin, China. The people at Mapex have earned a distinguished
reputation for designing, engineering and building the highest quality acoustic drums.
In fact, Mapex is one of the only companies of its kind to have earned ISO9001 certifi-
cation — the world’s standard for manufacturing excellence.
Building the highest quality product initially depends on the expertise of those that
select the raw materials — in particular, the wood. This is why the Mapex Professional
Wood Grading Team selects only the finest raw materials to build its drums.
Premium grade hardwoods like maple, walnut, birch and basswood are hand-selected
from worldwide sources and are then matched by skilled experts to ensure that every
drum Mapex produces carries with it the signature tonal and resonant properties that
define the distinctive Mapex sound.
Mapex not only wants you to sound your best, you need to look great too. On all of its
painted drums, Mapex finish experts hand apply an eight-coat, hand-rubbed, high-
gloss lacquer to each shell. Mapex finishes are durable, easy to maintain and will help
make you the envy of your drumming community.
The employees at Mapex apply the same high standard of quality across the entire
family of products. Every Mapex drum, regardless of price, is built to exacting specifi-
cations. Mapex has created a working environment that encourages growth, spirit and
dedication to craftsmanship. The people that make Mapex drums are the best at what
they do and they take pride in their ability to do it.
The result is a drum that you will take on stage or into the studio with complete
confidence that your style and creativity will be not only perfectly reproduced, but
enhanced. With your Mapex drum set, your talent and personality will be faithfully
delivered to your audience, whether you’re playing to a crowd of twenty or twenty-
thousand. You’ll ultimately take as much pride in owning a Mapex drum as the expert
builders did when it was made.
USA.MAPEXDRUMS.COM
If you were asked to describe the perfect
drum, would you mention beautiful wood
grain with a deep, hand rubbed finish? Thin,
responsive shells that deliver precise tone and
perfect resonance?
If this is your idea of the perfect drum, then
the Mapex Orion Series should get your
attention. Sold exclusively by component,
you are assured that your Orion Series drum
set will fit you perfectly and be exactly what
you’ve always wanted.
