The 700 Series has many features that are new to Mapex hardware including the Super-Glide stepless cymbal tilter and Multi-sustain Cymbal Felts, that allow the player to use any combination of plastic or felt on their cymbal stands for more precise sustain.

Hardware packs that come with the sets consist of one B700 boom cymbal stand, one C700 cymbal stand, one S700 snare drum stand, one H700 hi hat stand and one P700 single bass drum pedal. The Rock 24 setup includes an additional B700 boom cymbal stand replacing the C700 cymbal stand.
