Mapex Wants to Create Your Dream Kit

Mapex Drums has announced the roll-out of a new program, the "Mapex Dream Kit," offering customized kits to drummers through Mapex Dream Kit authorized dealers. The program has been outlined in a new Mapex Dream Kit book, a 52-page color catalog designed by Mapex Marketing Director Jeff Ivester, complete with all the possibilities and instructions on how to order.

"This is truly a first of its kind in the percussion industry," announced Ivester, who worked in the Gibson Custom Shop for several years before coming to Mapex. "It is similar to a custom shop for drums, but this not about adding a component here or a splash cymbal there. Rather, it is about eliminating all barriers and letting drummers create the exact kit they desire. It's really an IDEA book to get drummers thinking outside the box, when it comes their set-up."

Drummers can choose from a selection of drums, each with its own wood and size options, allowing for countless possibilities. Players then choose from a huge variety of colors as well as select the finish they prefer. A variety of hardware and hardware configurations are also available, empowering drummers to choose different drum configurations with no limits, including customizing every piece of hardware right down to their stands and pedals. All of the examples that are shown in the book feature premium Black Panther Snare drums and Janus Ergo pedals.

Orders can be placed through Mapex Dream Kit Authorized Dealers who can also provide customers with a price quote for a Mapex Dream Kit. All orders will be custom-made and special orders are guaranteed for delivery at the retailer in 85 days from order confirmation. Mapex has also authorized special Dream Kit pricing incentives for players that order complete Dream Kits. While selecting drums and hardware la carte for their dream kit, players will still enjoy a large overall discount when purchasing a full drum set.

Players can request a Mapex Dream Kit book by visiting their local Mapex dealer, or by sending an email request to mapex@mapexdrums.com.
