M Birch

The shells are made from multiple birch plies with an exterior maple veneer, giving you great tone — and a great look. The shells deliver incredible attack at the high end, a narrower mid-range and significant “punch” at the bottom end. The exterior maple ply is finished with eight coats of hand applied, transparent lacquer for a shell that looks as good as it sounds.

M Birch Specifications

• 8-coat hand-rubbed lacquer finishes

The M Birch’s exterior maple ply allows beautiful wood grain to show through the drum’s eight coat, hand-rubbed lacquer finish.

• Color matched bass drum hoops with claw hooks

The all maple M Birch bass drum hoops are color matched and secured via low profile claw hooks.

• Include matching birch shell snare drum

All M Birch Kits include a matching birch shell snare drum.

• Non-penetrating Mapex I.T.S System

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.

• Include 550 Series double-braced Mapex hardware

M Birch kits come complete with Mapex 550 Series double-braced hardware.

• Low mass, single-point-contact lugs

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.

• Remo® drum heads

All M Birch drums are equipped with Remo® drum heads.
