All Mapex products are hand built and hand assembled by the artisans at its
wholly owned factory. The people at Mapex have earned a distinguished reputation
for designing, engineering and building the highest quality acoustic drums. In
fact, Mapex is one of the only companies of its kind to have earned ISO9001
certification - the world's standard for manufacturing excellence.
Building the highest quality product initially depends on the expertise of those
that select the raw materials - in particular, the wood. This is why the Mapex
Professional Wood Grading Team selects only the finest raw materials to build
its drums. Premium grade hardwoods like maple, walnut, birch and basswood are
hand-selected from worldwide sources and are then matched by skilled experts to
ensure that every drum Mapex produces carries with it the signature tonal and
resonant properties that define the distinctive Mapex sound.
Mapex not only wants you to sound your best, you need to look great too. On all
of its painted drums, Mapex finish experts hand apply an eight-coat,
hand-rubbed, high-gloss lacquer to each shell. Mapex finishes are durable, easy
to maintain and will help make you the envy of your drumming community.
