The most consistent and reliable entry level Drum Kit in the market with a while heap of new upgraded features, Tornado III sets the standard others can only dream of.

Getting everything you need to start your drumming journey is often a long task of figuring out what you need and how much it will all cost. The Mapex Tornado remedies that.

As the compact configuration of this drum kit, this kit features smaller drum sizes that make it ideal for busking and being moved from place to place. This configuration is ideal for drummers who are interested in taking their kit with them, or those with influences that skew more towards RnB, jazz, electronic music, and pop.

As one of the best selling kits worldwide (and the one we consider to be the current frontrunner in beginner drum kits) the Mapex Tornado III offers a complete drum kit that nicely pairs quality with an attractive price. Tornado kits are especially ideal for making sure you have everything you need to get started. From the shells to the cymbals to the hardware, everything you need to get yourself behind the kit is there and ready to go.

Beginner drum kits have long been treated as an afterthought. What Mapex has done with their Tornado series is create a kit that inspires beginners to keep going. Mapex hasn’t forgotten that we all started somewhere, and they want your starting kit to be memorable.

When done well a beginner kit can be something incredible that inspires you to keep drumming for years and years to come. Tornado kits are built to last through a thrashing, and with a level of quality that even makes them a viable choice for intermediate and advanced players on a budget!

This drum kit comes with double-braced hardware (something that isn’t often seen with beginner kits) that is sturdy, durable, and reliable. It also has ball-socket tom holders that allow for precise placement of your toms to best suit your playing. Including everything you need to get behind the skins as quickly as possible (and instructions to help), you’ll want for nothing more with the Mapex Tornado.

Mapex Tornado drums are made with the same quality approval as the brands high-end series’. Having made a name for themselves as innovators that aren’t afraid to push the standards higher, Mapex drums are a reliable option to drummers at any price point.
