Overview
Layered poplar shells and SONIClear bearing edges form the core of the Mapex Comet, a complete acoustic kit for starting drummers. Single tom holders swing through a full circle so the toms mount quickly, and Mapex cymbals come with it.
A kit you can play straight from the box is the reason to look: drums, cymbals, stands, pedal and bench are all listed. The limit is the paperwork, with a title that says black, a color field that says black, and a description that says blue.
Who it's for
A garage, rehearsal room or school space suits this kit, as it ships with the stands and a bench for immediate play. Apartment dwellers needing quiet should consider electronic drums, and advanced players may want upgraded cymbals.
Pros and cons
- Poplar shells with nine layers
- SONIClear bearing edges for tuning
- Cymbals, stands, pedal and bench included

Performance notes
Poplar shells with several layers give a warm, full sound, while the bearing edges let heads seat evenly and tune sensibly. Cymbals are described as bright and clear. Tom holders with full rotation allow quick positioning for different player heights.
