"Mapex has always been an easy to tune drum which quickly helped me get the right sound I needed for the music I was playing. In the studio, you have to be able to respond quickly to the request of an artist looking for a particular sound. In addition to the quality of the drums that have proven themselves, the new models: Saturn, Evolution, Black Panther design Lab benefit from new technologies making the drums more versatile. This helps me in any conditions to do my job at his best every day."
