Mapex Comet

A complete beginner kit with Mapex SONIClear edges, cymbals, hardware, and a throne.

Mapex Complete kit

The Comet is Mapex's complete entry kit, built on 9-ply 7.2mm poplar shells with the same SONIClear bearing edge found on the brand's pricier lines - a real tuning and resonance advantage at this level. It ships complete with Mapex cymbals, a full hardware set, and a throne, so a new drummer is ready to play out of the box.
