Used Mapex Orion 10, 13, 15, 20 in Rare Sizes Blue Mist Burst with Gig Bags
Used Mapex Orion in Blue Mist Burst with 10x7 & 13x11 rack toms, 15x13 floor tom, and 20x14 kick drum delivers a high end all maple player's kit with rare sizes, professional hardware, and included gig bags. The Orion series is known for thin North American maple shells that provide superior resonance and warm, dynamic tone for stage and studio. This configuration suits drummers seeking high end maple drums with an Isolated Tom Mounting System, low mass lugs, and a hand rubbed lacquer finish for reliable performance and refined looks.
Condition & Build Quality
Overall condition is Excellent. The 15x13 floor tom is a modification: it was originally a hanging tom, and had floor tom legs added to it. There are a couple small dings/chips in the finish which can be seen in the photos, but generally the finish and hardware are very clean. Shells are Orion maple with thin construction designed for enhanced sustain and note purity. The Isolated Tom Mounting System reduces direct shell contact to protect vibration, while low mass single point of contact lugs minimize hardware footprint. Hardware includes 2.3 mm Powerhoops on toms and die cast bass drum claws for stability and tuning accuracy. The hand rubbed lacquer in Blue Mist Burst shows depth and gloss typical of the series, and all fittings present cleanly with smooth operation. Overall build quality supports consistent head seating, dependable tuning, and long term durability for regular gigging or studio work.

Sound & Playing Feel
The Orion maple recipe emphasizes warmth, clarity, and a resonant, musical sustain. The 10x7 and 13x11 rack toms speak with quick attack, balanced mids, and an open decay that sits naturally in a mix. The modified 15x13 floor tom provides extra body with controlled low mids, delivering a focused, microphone friendly fundamental that avoids boominess. The compact 20x14 kick is articulate and quick, offering punch and definition at moderate volumes with enough headroom for live stages. Across the kit, the Isolated Tom Mounting System contributes to superior resonance and consistent feel, while low mass lugs help preserve shell response. Tuning ranges broadly from low, warm thump to higher, articulate jazz friendly settings, making this a versatile option for players who prioritize musical response and reliable hardware.
