Mapex Saturn Evolution Series Drum Kits Mapex has released the Saturn Evolution Series of drum kits , which offers hybrid shell technology , presenting both birch / walnut blended shells and maple / walnut blended shells in the same series to provide a greater selection in sound character .
The Saturn Evolution Series debuts the company ’ s Halo mounting system , a unique lateral “ under lug-line ” suspension mount allowing the shell to fully resonate with an open , pure tone . Each Halo Mount is equipped with the Sustain Adjustment Knob , which acts as a built-in equalizer slightly dampening the
resonance of the shell when needed , producing a tighter and quicker decay , and eliminating the need for external muffling .
The floor tom legs feature a 90-degree static angled leg and the company ’ s Sonic Pedestal Foot , reducing the transfer of energy through the hardware and keeping more resonance in the drum . The company says the air flow venting system ensures that each drum produces its optimal tone by locating the air-vents at the nodal points of each shell .

CopperSound Triplegraph Digital Octave Pedal CopperSound Pedals teamed up with Jack White and his Third Man Records label to design the Triplegraph digital octave pedal .
The pedal features three telegraph keys and an integrated auxiliary loop . Utilizing a high-power DSP Blackfin processor , the Triplegraph triggers an octave down with the left key and octave up with the right key , while the middle key activates a killswitch or auxiliary loop . In Kill mode , the middle key acts as a momentary killswitch , allowing the player to remove their dry signal and attain a fully-wet octave up and / or down when used in conjunction with the octave keys . In Auxiliary mode , the player can connect one or more of their favourite effects in parallel with the octaves via the send / return jacks and trigger them in momentary bursts .
The high and low octaves can be triggered in parallel with the dry signal when the octave keys are pressed independently . The octaves themselves track seamlessly with zero latency , and can be triggered in latching or momentary modes , using the company ’ s Loctave toggle switches .
