Used by a wide range of drummers from amateur hobbyists to professional touring artists, Mapex kits and hardware consistently deliver superb sound and road ready durability. I literally have NOTHING bad to say about the Mapex Tornado except… It would’ve been nice to have a ride cymbal instead of the 16” crash cymbal. It really doesn’t sound that good anyway.

The Mapex Tornado is the starter kit against which all others are measured. The 9-ply poplar shells produce a larger than life sound that gives a level of dynamics, tone and quality that is unmatched by any other kit in this price range. The Fusion sized drums are perfect for the smaller player as the 20-inch bass drum allows for the other drums to be positioned lower. In case you’re wondering, the cymbals are “no brand”. I assume that they’ve been specifically made for the Mapex Tornado. However, I still really dig the 14” hi-hat cymbal they included. It sounds fine to my ears (maybe professional drummers would disagree).

Often likened in sound to more expensive woods like maple and mahogany, the shells of this drum kit offer top end tone at a great price.
