New "Go Large" Bass Drum and Floor Tom Add-On Pack for M Birch Series
Press Release
Posted 2006-09-16
Mapex has introduced a bass drum and floor tom add-on pack that radically expands basic six and seven-piece configurations.
The M Birch “Go Large” Pack includes an additional 22 x 18 Bass Drum and an 18 x 16 Floor Tom with legs, plus a TH650 tom holder, B550A Boom Stand and P550A Bass Drum Pedal.
Since its introduction in January 2005, the M Birch has enjoyed enormous success, due, in part, to the value added by Mapex’s ‘6 for 5’ and ‘7 for 6’ promotions that reward purchasers with a free tom and mounting hardware. The “Go Large” pack converts standard M Birch configurations into 8 or 9-piece drum sets. Consumers can either purchase the pack with an original M Birch purchase or add on later as an upgrade.
“Our M Birch customers have expressed an interest in larger configurations. With the M Birch ‘Go Large’ pack, players can expand their set-up to a very impressive double-bass kit,” said Joe Vasko, Vice President and General Manager for Mapex USA. “This pack, combined with our 6 for 5 and 7 for 6 M Birch promotions, allows consumers to get into a gigantic drum set for a very reasonable price.”
Mark Plesack, purchased his Standard Configuration M Birch last February with money he had saved from Christmas and birthday gifts. This holiday season, he knows what he’s asking for from Santa. “I’ve always wanted a double-kick kit,” says Mark. “With this new add-on pack, I’ll be playing a killer eight-piece kit by New Years.”
The “Go Large Pack” (MBBF2218PK) is available in all seven M Birch finishes, including the two bursts, Deep Forest Cherry and Deep Forest Green.
