Rare Vintage Mapex Orion 5 Piece Drum Kit w/ 24k Gold Plated Lugs & Mapex V-Series Snare

Complete with Sabian cymbals, Pearl Hi Hat stand, Mapex double braced cymbal stands, Mapex tom mounts, which attach to the Mapex stands and a Premier bass pedal, as well as a Mapex V-Series snare.

The Mapex Orion needs no introduction really, but I will give it one anyway, as it's a fantastic piece of kit.

It is beautiful crafted, rock solid, awesome to look at, and plays like a dream. It could be used for recording, as a home drum kit, or for touring, but personally I would keep it less travelled, so it can be enjoyed fully without the wear and tear, as they are very rare now.

It's a reluctant sale in a way. I have electric drums at present, which are very good but not the same as a full size acoustic kit, albeit easier to practise with headphones etc. This kit benefits from 24k Gold plated lugs, and is beautifully crafted form Maple inside out.

Sounds and play great. Mapex Orion is the no longer manufactured flagship Mapex Kit. Very solid and an icon in the industry. 

I haven't seen m(any) with the non-patterned finish that this kit has.

From a recent overview: At the time of production (1990's), the Orion series were the flagship kit in Mapex's range and hold up incredibly to this day. With each shell crafted from thick North American Maple and finished with a Birdseye Maple veneer, these beauties sing loud and proud with every hit!

- 14” Mapex V-Series snare drum with ring dampener (removable)
