Information

The Mapex Venus 20" 5-Piece Drum Kit, Steel Blue Metallic is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Mapex Venus Series takes the complete drum kit concept to the next level, giving new and developing players a higher-specification setup with everything required to start playing, learning and progressing with confidence.

Venus combines genuine Mapex drum manufacturing expertise with a complete package of drums, upgraded hardware, cymbals and drum throne. The Venus cymbal package expands on a typical starter setup by including hammered brass 14" hi-hats, a 16" crash and a full-size 20" ride cymbal, together with a second B400 boom cymbal stand for the ride.

For a developing drummer, that means a more complete kit from the outset, with no need to purchase a separate ride cymbal and additional stand as their playing progresses. Combined with Mapex SONIClear™ bearing edges, REMO® UC drumheads, Mini B-Lugs and a complete set of 400 Series hardware, Venus provides a significant step up in specification while retaining the convenience and value of a complete drum kit package.

The Next Step Up

The Mapex Venus is an ideal choice for players and parents who want to invest beyond the most basic entry-level drum kit. While remaining accessible to a first-time drummer, Venus introduces features and components designed to offer greater performance, durability and room for progression.

The inclusion of a dedicated ride cymbal is particularly useful as a player develops. Separate hi-hat, crash and ride voices give students a setup they can use to practise graded drum pieces and build skills they’ll use beyond the practice room.

This makes Venus equally suitable as a high-quality first drum kit or as a natural upgrade for a player who has already started their drumming journey and is ready for a more complete acoustic setup.

Fusion Configuration – 20" Bass Drum

The Venus Fusion Configuration offers all of the specification and complete-package benefits of Venus in a slightly more compact and versatile setup. Built around a 20" bass drum with 10" and 12" rack toms, 14" floor tom and 14" snare drum, it provides an excellent balance between a full-size playing experience and a more manageable overall footprint.

The 20" bass drum retains plenty of punch and low-end presence while making the kit easier to position in bedrooms, teaching rooms, rehearsal spaces and smaller performance environments. It is a particularly versatile choice for younger developing players, students and drummers who prefer a more compact setup without moving to junior-sized drums.
