Essential Information About the Saturn Stage 22 Drum Kit

  • 4-piece hybrid maple and walnut shell kit for an ideal balance of warmth, attack, and definition
  • Powerful and versatile 22 x 18 bass drum, perfect for stage and studio
  • Original Remo heads for immediate sound setup and reliable tuning
  • Durable chrome hardware and included tom mount for secure and long-lasting assembly

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The "Saturn" series has established itself as a benchmark for hybrid maple and walnut drum kits, designed to offer a high-end sonic signature without veering into extreme specialization. It is positioned above intermediate ranges, featuring meticulous craftsmanship and premium material choices, while maintaining great versatility for demanding drummers.

Who This Drum Kit Is For

The Saturn Stage 22 is suitable for intermediate to expert drummers seeking a reliable, musical, and responsive kit. Its 22-10-12-16 configuration excels in rock, pop, funk, and fusion, with enough openness for modern jazz and contemporary music. Its ergonomics and projection make it a top choice for rehearsals, on stage, and for recording in a home studio.

Features and Innovations

The core of the kit relies on hybrid maple and walnut shells that optimize response across the entire spectrum, from deep lows to precise highs. The included tom mount ensures stable positioning and preserved resonance. The original Remo heads facilitate tuning and guarantee an immediately usable sound. The chrome hardware, both aesthetic and durable, secures long-term stability.

The Sound

Walnut provides dense lows, focused low-mids, and a rounded attack, while maple adds warmth, projection, and controlled sustain. The combination of these two woods delivers a modern, precise, and musical sound that cuts through the mix without harshness.

The 22 x 18 bass drum offers generous punch and a nice note length, ideal for driving grooves. The 10 x 7 and 12 x 8 toms tune easily for clear attack and crisp articulation, while the 16 x 14 floor tom provides foundation and depth. The result is a responsive, versatile kit that is easy to tune across a wide range.
