Independent shopping perspective
Mapex’s Quantum Mark II California Cut is a 14-inch single marching tenor paired with a 6-inch shot drum, aimed at younger ensemble members developing marching and playing technique before taking a full snare, tenor, or bass role. Its mid-depth, 6.5 mm maple/walnut-ply shell is paired with a birch reinforcing ring. The SONIClear bearing edge and Sonic Saver hoops are designed for a warm, full, resonant sound with added focus. An FFLB mounting system allows another shot drum to be added on either side.
