The MARS BLACK drum kit introduces a comprehensive, monochromatic design that seamlessly integrates premium styling with time-tested performance. While presenting a striking new visual identity, the kit faithfully preserves the signature acoustic character, punch, and structural reliability that have defined the Mars series for years.

100% European Maple

100% European Maple emits buttery, classic and warm maple tone transmitted through beautifully lacquered 7-ply, 7.2mm shells for a sound that will launch your drumming to the next level and will command the attention of your bandmates as they get into your groove.

SONIClear™ Bearing Edge

SONIClear™ Bearing Edge Allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range.

SONIClear™ Suspension System

Straight from the Saturn Series, the SONIClear™ Suspension System on the rack toms increases overall resonance by preserving vibration in the drumheads and shell and preventing energy transfer to the hardware.

Insulated Bass Drum Claws

The Insulated Bass Drum Claws include rubber gaskets that protect the hoop from damage and prevent rattling or buzzing during periods of extended play.

Matching Snare Drum

The Matching Snare Drum gives a unified look to the set while providing a solid fundamental crack. Its 14” x 5.5” size provides great tuning and musical versatility.

Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders

Bass Drum Mounted Tom Holders are standard with Mars Maple Series 504, 529 and 628 shell packs. A Single Tom Arm and Clamp for mounting the rack tom from a cymbal stand are standard on the 486 shell packs.
