Mapex Releases New Quantum Models
Mapex has released new models and accessories to complement its Quantum marching series. A tenor case and practice covers highlight the accessories options, with the Agility snare and a new 32″ bass drum expanding the drum offerings.
The new Quantum drum covers and cases feature wheels on the tenor case making transport easier. The neutral grey color of the drum covers help to reflect heat. Covers feature smartly positioned D rings on each side to hold stick bags and easy to reach pockets are big enough to hold a dot book.
A lighter and shallower drum, the Agility is brighter and more articulate than the Quantum XT. Winter Guard International groups Constitution and Jenison Winter Drumline (Mich) tested prototypes of the Agility snare last season. Under the direction of Will Gordillo, Jension used the Agility prototype in their performance at the WGI finals.
