The Saturn Evolution Fusion is a four-piece shell pack built from birch and walnut plies, aimed at drummers who want a dark, punchy, dry tone. It pairs a 20x16 bass drum with 10x7 and 12x8 rack toms and a 14x14 floor tom, and the bass drum has no tom mount, so you mount the toms on stands. The SONIClear II Halo system suspends each tom on a one-piece ring with four contact points and a Sustain Adjustment Knob, which lets you dial resonance and sustain. Against all-birch kits in its class it trades some brightness for low-end warmth and control, and the shallow fusion depths keep the toms articulate and easy to position. The snare is not included.

Owner discussion of the Saturn Evolution line centers on its low, punchy voice and the Halo mount, which many say cleans up resonance and overtones. Drummers generally rate the build and hardware highly, while some note the kit favors a darker sound over a bright, cutting one.
The Mapex Saturn Evolution Fusion Birch is a 4-piece shell pack in Tuscan Red. It includes a bass drum, two mounted toms and a floor tom. A snare drum is not included. The configuration has a dark, punchy and dry sound.
The shells are made of birch and walnut. Each tom hangs from the SONIClear II "Halo" mounting system, a one-piece ring suspension that contacts the shell at four diagonal, lateral and supportive points under the lug line. This spreads pressure more evenly across the shell so it can vibrate and resonate naturally. A Sustain Adjustment Knob on the Halo mount changes the contact area between the mount and the shell to fine-tune sustain and resonance.
SONIClear Bearing Edges come standard. They transmit sound directly, reduce unwanted frequencies and give a strong fundamental pitch. They also make tuning easier, especially at lower tunings. The kit also has Sonic Saver hoops and Nodal Line air flow venting.
