Mapex Mars Bop Kit in Blood Orange Sparkle with 6005 Mars Hardware Pack

The Mapex Mars Bop Kit in Blood Orange Sparkle, matched with the road-ready 6005 Mars Hardware Pack, is a compact, punchy powerhouse built for serious drummers who crave vintage tone, modern reliability, and a bit of visual fire. Whether you're laying down tight jazz phrasing or carving grooves in a funk trio, this setup delivers dynamic, articulate sound with a footprint that fits just about anywhere.

Shells & Configuration

Crafted from 100% birch, the Mars Bop shells bring focused attack, crisp projection, and just the right amount of low-end warmth. The kit’s 18"x14" kick, 10"x7" rack tom, 14"x12" floor tom, and 14"x5.5" matching snare make it an ideal setup for jazz, soul, funk, and acoustic gigs—giving you quick articulation without sacrificing fullness.

These shells love mid-to-high tunings, respond well to dynamics, and sound fantastic under mics. From rehearsal room to recording session, they bring classic tone with a modern voice.

Finish & Aesthetics

The Blood Orange Sparkle finish is bold, radiant, and stage-ready—striking under lights without being gaudy. Sleek black hardware accents the sparkle beautifully, giving the whole kit a polished, pro-level look that commands attention before you’ve hit a note.
