LA session great Russ Miller will be the host in seven of the events while Rashid Williams (John Legend, Jill Scott) will be the hosting the tour in eight of the locations.

In addition, a Mapex Armory Tomahawk snare drum will be given away to a lucky winner at each stop of the tour.

Joe Hibbs, Brand Manager for Mapex Drums, comments:

"These 15 events will be hands-on, interactive and those in attendance will have the opportunity to talk to the people and personalities behind Mapex all of whom are drummers."

About SONIClear
All Armory and Mars drum sets have the new SONIClear Bearing Edge which increases the contact between the drumhead and shell and allows the head to sit flat on the edge.

According to Mapex, the SONIClear bearing edge produces a stronger and more centered pitch and makes the drums easy to tune. The end result the player spends less time tuning and the ability to play more.

Armory and Mars hardware
Armory and Mars sets offer a complete compliment of Armory and Mars hardware. The double-braced stands are heavy duty, but they're not overbuilt. This all-purpose hardware is available in packs or as individual pieces, and comes in a choice of chrome and a special black plated finish and will endure years of constant playing and abuse. The stands are available in chrome, black Plated and a special combination of chrome and black plated.
