What Anderton’s Say About The Mapex Comet:

The Comet series is available in three popular configurations, engineered for everyone starting their “drummer for life” journey. With three stylish finishes, each kit comes complete with a full complement of sturdy hardware and cymbals. The 250 Series hardware is precision-engineered for the drummer who's all about breaking the mould without breaking the bank - the perfect companion to the Comet Series kits. The Mapex Comet series offers an amazing all-in-one solution for drummers wanting to start their musical journey. Comet kits are crafted to transform your drumming journey from day one.

With enhanced cymbals and the robust 400 series footboards on the Hi Hat Stand and Bass Drum Pedal, you're equipped with gear that withstands the test of time and practice, making every beat count. The heart of the Comet Series lies in its 9 Ply, 7.2mm Poplar Shells, coupled with Mapex SONIClear Bearing Edges. This combination gives a full, warm sound with unmatched tone and clarity, making tuning a breeze and playing an experience. Every detail, from the comfort curve wingnuts & wingbolts to the included Mapex T400 Drum Throne, is designed with your playing comfort in mind. This means you can focus more on your performance and less on the setup.

Key Features:

• The 9-ply, 7.2mm Poplar shell offers a full, warm sound
• 360° Adjustment Tom Holders - making tom set up quick and secure
• Mapex Comfort Curve wingnuts and wingbolts across the full hardware set – for easy adjusting
• Allowing the drumhead to sit flatter, the Mapex ‘SONIClear’ Bearing Edge gives better contact with the shell. The result is a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range
• Cymbals & Hardware included

How Will My Drums Be Delivered?

All starter drum kits are delivered in the smallest number of boxes. They will be packed inside one another and will need assembling. Starter kits are always delivered without the heads & hoops attached. This isn’t something to be intimidated by, it’s the basics of drum assembly, and is good practice to get a better understanding of your new kit!

The heads will then need to be tightened and tuned. Using the drum key provided, rotate all the lugs clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen – simple!

Once the drum heads are attached, you’re ready to set up! You may want to have a look at our drumk kit set up guide or check out our unboxing video on YouTube (this is of a Pearl Roadshow but all starter kits will be the same process). Just make sure the stands are at the right height, and the kit is comfortable to play.
