The Mapex Comet Complete 5-Piece Drum Set is engineered to offer a seamless entry into the world of drumming. Designed with the first-time player in mind, this kit eliminates the complexity of selecting individual components by providing a comprehensive, ready-to-play package.
Drawing on decades of manufacturing expertise, the Comet series delivers professional-grade features and durable construction, ensuring that new drummers can focus entirely on developing their technique and musicality without equipment limitations.
A Complete Foundation
Starting a drumming journey often involves navigating a confusing array of necessary accessories, but the Comet series simplifies this process by including everything required to start playing immediately. This all-in-one configuration ensures that students and educators have a fully functional instrument right out of the box, without the need for additional purchases to complete the setup.
Inclusive Hardware Package: The kit comes standard with a robust 4-piece hardware set, including a snare stand, hi-hat stand, cymbal stand, and a smooth-action single kick pedal.
Matched Cymbals: A 14” hi-hat pair and a 16” crash cymbal are included, providing the essential metallic voices needed for practicing grooves, timekeeping, and accents.
Comfortable Throne: A durable drum throne is provided as part of the package, ensuring proper posture and ergonomic comfort during long practice sessions.
Tuning, Tone, and Getting That Perfect Sound
At the core of the Comet's sound is the SONIClear bearing edge, a feature typically found on professional Mapex lines. It significantly improves the relationship between the drumhead and the shell. Combined with resonant poplar shells, this design innovation makes tuning intuitive and consistent, removing a common hurdle for beginners trying to achieve a pleasing tone.
SONIClear Bearing Edges: This proprietary edge profile allows the drumhead to sit completely flat on the shell, enhancing resonance and making tuning significantly easier and more stable.
7.2mm Poplar Shells: The 6-ply poplar construction delivers a full, warm tone with plenty of attack, offering a balanced sound suitable for a wide variety of musical styles.
Pure Tone: The optimized edge contact ensures a wider tuning range and a purer fundamental pitch, helping beginners achieve a professional sound quickly.
Road-Ready Resilience
Durability is critical for a practice instrument, and the Comet series benefits from Mapex’s extensive history of crafting road-worthy gear. The hardware and mounting systems are designed to withstand daily use while offering the flexibility needed to set up the kit ergonomically for players of different sizes.
360-Degree Tom Holders: The TH6215 tom holder allows full rotation, enabling precise positioning of rack toms to suit the player's reach and setup.
Professional Design: Built with manufacturing standards from higher-end models, this kit delivers reliable performance for intense playing.
Durable Finishes: The drums feature a tough, eye-catching wrap that protects the shells from scratches and wear during transport and practice.
Where Your Rhythm Begins
The Mapex Comet Complete 5-Piece Drum Set represents a smart investment for the aspiring drummer, combining convenience, quality, and value. By integrating professional features like SONIClear edges with a comprehensive hardware and cymbal package, Mapex has created a kit that supports the student's growth from their first beat to their first performance.

Awesome deal
Great intro kit. I converted mine to a hybrid kit with triggers and it’s more than enough. Looks sleek, hardware is nice and shells sound good. Great buy.

Christmas Noise!
This seems like a great starter set. It was easy to put together. However, it would have been easier with instruction included. That would be my only gripe. I get no instructions with a more advanced user/set, but not a starter set. With that being said my son loves it.

We received our drums in
We received our drums in a timely manner and the quality of the drums is outstanding. The only reason I don’t give this company a 5 star is because they did not offer any directions on how to put them together. We are new to the music world and had no clue as to what we were doing. We did eventually...
