The right arm is then brought up in front of the face in order to bow or pluck the strings.

Mapex PRO M 6-Piece Studio Drum Set, Liquid Blue Pearl Meet your next drum set, the all-maple Pro M. Thin maple shells are finished in a wide choice of high-gloss lacquered colors that will keep Pro M looking great for years to come.Each Pro M set comes with a full complement of double-braced Mapex hardware and when you buy the drum kit, you get the cat-a free maple and cherry black panther snare drum-in an exclusive new 6″ x 13″ size. Pro M Series snare drums also sport a 20-split-lug design for greater tuning precision and a sleek, contemporary look. You now have more reasons than ever to get behind a Mapex Pro M.Mapex’s low-mass lugs are secured to the shell via only one point of penetration. Fewer holes in the drum shell means less vibratory interruption, resulting in truer tone and unimpeded resonance.The bass drum’s non-penetrating I.T.S. double tom holder isolates the bass drum shell from any vibration from the tom toms. The tom’s mount is secured via the lugs and is not drilled directly into the shell. The Mapex I.T.S. System allows the shell to vibrate freely, allowing for maximum projection and resonance.Toms and snares are equipped with exclusive Mapex Powerhoops. Made from 2.3mm chrome steel, the Mapex Powerhoop provides flex resistance without adding unnecessary weight that may mute the drum.Pro M sets also come equipped with Remo drum heads and an instructional DVD hosted by Mapex international clinician Dom Famularo.
