Ajax Forte 4-Piece Fusion Shell Set – Mardi Gras

Vintage-Inspired Ajax Drums with Versatile Modern Performance

The Ajax Forte 4-Piece shell set is a high-end drum set from the respected Ajax family, inspired by the classic Ajax drums of the 1950s.

Finished in a timeless Mardi Gras Black Sparkle wrap, this Forte kit combines vintage British drum styling with a versatile shell construction designed for modern drummers. Its balanced four-piece configuration makes it an excellent choice for studio recording, live performance, rehearsals and players looking for a responsive kit with plenty of character.

The kit features 6-ply Beech/Birch shells, offering a blend of warmth, projection, attack and clarity. This combination creates a musical and versatile drum sound, with enough focus for recording and enough projection for live performance.

Beech contributes warmth, resonance and a rounded musical tone, while Birch is known for its focused attack, clear projection and strong presence. Together, these woods provide a balanced sound that works across a wide range of musical styles.

This particular Ajax Forte shell set comes in the following four-piece configuration: 20x15, 10x8, 12x9, 14x14 incl double tom holder

The 20" bass drum provides a balanced combination of punch, depth and quick response. It offers enough low-end presence for rock and modern music while remaining versatile and controlled for studio work.

The 10" and 12" rack toms create a clear, musical tonal range, giving the kit a comfortable spread between pitches. The 14" floor tom adds warmth and depth, completing a compact but flexible setup.

The Ajax Forte 4-Piece can also be expanded with the same additional drums and accessories:

• Ajax Metasonic Aluminium Snare Drum

• 8" Tom

• 16" Floor Tom
