Information

The Mapex Venus 22" 5-Piece Drum Kit, Crimson Red Sparkle 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 required to create a proper three-cymbal playing setup.

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 important as a player develops. Rather than relying on a simplified two-cymbal starter setup, Venus provides separate hi-hat, crash and ride voices from day one, allowing students to learn on a cymbal configuration that meets the requirements for Drumming Grades and more closely reflects the setup they will encounter as their playing develops 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.

Rock Configuration – 22" Bass Drum

For players looking for the familiar feel and presence of a traditional full-size acoustic drum kit, the Venus Rock Configuration is built around a powerful 22" bass drum. The combination of 10" and 12" rack toms, 16" floor tom and 14" snare provides the classic proportions associated with a versatile rock setup, delivering plenty of punch, depth and projection.

It is an excellent choice for older beginners, students and developing drummers who want a substantial kit capable of taking them from home practice and lessons through to rehearsals and live performance.
