Mapex Swift

Product Description

The Mapex Swift is Mapex's first-ever belt-drive bass drum pedal and the first entirely new pedal design from the brand in over a decade. Built for drummers who need speed, smooth response and dependable feel, it's equally suited to live use and studio work. Swift is part of the Design Lab Series and ships with a newly designed pedal bag for storage and transport.

Build and feel

Developed over several years by the Mapex R&D team and refined with input from Mapex Artists, Swift's reinforced bearing hinge design delivers a smooth, silent motion, while the belt-drive mechanism gives a consistent, fluid feel underfoot.

Fast adjustments mid-session

The Quick Set Spring Tensioner lets you change spring tension from a seated position without tools – handy between songs or right before a gig. The Spring Tension Guide shows exactly where your tension is set, so you can repeat the same setting every time. The Easy Reach Hoop Clamp adjusts with one hand and fits most bass drum hoop styles.

Who It's For

Swift suits drummers already playing at a level where precision, quiet mechanics and fast setup changes matter – for example during tight gig schedules or studio sessions with limited time for adjustments.
