Replacing the M and Pro M, the Mapex Meridian drum kits offer new colours, new configurations and upgraded hardware with newly designed lugs and mounts. The Mapex Meridian drum kit in Maple features 7-ply, 5.8mm, all maple shells (7.2mm bass drum). The Meridian drum kits also feature Mapex 2.3mm Steel Powerhoops and, rumour has it, the Meridian Maple kits include Remo pinstripe drum heads so the kit will sound great right out of the box.
For the introduction of the Mapex Meridian drum kit, Mapex has re-engineered its Isolated Tom Mounting System. The improved system employs Mapex's unique combination of off-the-shell mounting hardware and single-point-of-contact lugs. The shell vibrates more freely, thereby improving sustain and resonance. The new Isolated Tom Mount System is significantly lighter and lower in profile than previous versions, also making precise positioning much easier.

Mapex Meridian drum kits feature newly designed Mapex 700 Series Hardware. The 700 Series has many features that are new to Mapex hardware including the Super-Glide stepless cymbal tilter and Multi-sustain Cymbal Felts, that allow the player to use any combination of plastic or felt on their cymbal stands for more precise sustain.
