Chaos Elite Custom Drum Kit Maple & Mappa Burl Re-Rings

American Maple Clarity • Reinforcement Ring Precision • Mappa Burl Prestige

American Maple forms the foundation of the shell, delivering exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic sensitivity. Built around an ultra-thin 5-ply American Maple shell, the design produces a lower natural shell frequency with effortless resonance and musical sustain. Mappa Burl reinforcement rings strengthen the bearing edges, allowing the shell to remain exceptionally thin while sharpening note definition, improving tuning stability, and adding a focused, articulate response. The result is a beautifully balanced instrument that combines vintage-inspired openness with modern boutique precision.

The finish is executed to an uncompromising standard, with premium Mappa Burl veneers meticulously selected and laid to showcase their distinctive swirling figure and natural depth. Each shell receives multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer before being carefully polished to a flawless mirror finish. The rich grain movement and intricate burl patterns remain clearly visible beneath the deep gloss, creating remarkable dimensionality while preserving the wood's natural beauty. Every drum possesses its own unique character, ensuring no two kits are ever exactly alike.

The maple bass drum hoops, finished with matching Mappa Burl veneers on both the inner and outer surfaces, extend the shell aesthetic across the entire instrument. This seamless attention to detail creates exceptional visual cohesion while reinforcing the handcrafted quality and boutique craftsmanship that define Chaos Elite Custom.

Customised in Melbourne, Australia, with your choice of hardware in Chrome, Black Nickel, or Gold. Complete your build with either Triple Flange or Die-Cast hoops, allowing every kit to be tailored to your exact sound and playing style.
