All-maple kits

[LiquidTensionTheatre]

I'm looking for a new drum kit and want something all-maple but that isn't gonna cost me like 7 and a half million quid... Any suggestions? I know Sonor 3005s are all-maple but can't seem to find anywhere in the UK that sells them. Also any suggestions for other kits are welcome.

M Pro, Wicked Kit and its all Maple. Sounds great too.

[Panopticon]

Yeah...Mapex Pro M is a great kit, equal to the Sonor in almost every way...there was a review written by Damo on here...i'll try and find it...

I understand that Gretsch is coming out with an all maple kit that's really cheap because it's made in China.

[White]

I dunno..............China stuff is always low quality if you ask me lol, actually I dont know anytihng about China stuff, it could be wicked quality. Actually. Isnt the Pro M Made in China?????????

Ecymbals (http://www.ecymbals.co.uk/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=107&strPageHistory=cat) - All things Paiste and Sonor, probably best prices

I think Gretsch has decided to try having some better quality products built there. The store I go to is getting one of these new kits and we will see if it works. Supposed to be a 6 piece all maple for a little over $1000 Cdn. It's actually a 5 piece but there is an introductory offer that includes a 16" floor tom for free or something.

No you don't. You have bells. CB doesn't make xylophones.

[stevoibanez]

Ddrum Dominion
Mapex Pro M

What about the M Maple???? that doesnt seem like a good set, due to its poor mounting system, but, its maple? c'mon lol

[We_Love_Lime]

isn't Pulse or Verve or whatever also all maple now or something ?

[Zildjian]

isn't Pulse or Verve or whatever also all maple now or something ?

yea but they might as well make if out of firewood becasue there so crappy

Pro M all the way..

[Aaron]

Starclassic Maples? or are they expensive to you guys. To me, they all are expensive. damn australia.

[We_Love_Lime]

Their expensive here. But everything is expensive to me, I have no money.

[CasB]

I'd say Peace Paragon, so there you have it :)

[FL3P]

No you don't. You have bells. CB doesn't make xylophones.

Then what is this?

That'd be a bellset.

[FL3P]

Also referred to as a Xylophone, mind you a small version. Maybe you can tell me the difference because I have never heard the term bellset.

[Damo]

Sonor Force 3005 !!!

[We_Love_Lime]

Bells I guess ( or glockenspiel ) is made of metal bars which resonate by themselves ( except for you hitting them ) While a xylophone are the same concept, but instead wooden bars. Often underneath a xylophone is like a tube like microphone doohiky ( for lack of a better term ) that helps it project more.

Interesting, I'll just call it a Xylophone though :lol:

[We_Love_Lime]

I guess you could do that. You could also call your Crash a high-hat, although it's not preffered.

[FL3P]

Well not many people would know what I was talking about if I said bellset but at least I know what it is now so thanks.

[We_Love_Lime]

No problem. I guess it isn't neccesary if no one knows what it is. I keep telling everybody at my school that I get my Oriental Crash Of Doom today, and their like what? I tend not to specify unless I know if I tell them I won't be wasting my time.

[FL3P]

I love the crash of doom. I might get one still but I'm not sure which one.

You can get custom build drums in australia made to your specs & any wood you want in any configuration cheaper than you can get any top line kit from a retailer.

I wanted an 18" kick and it was going to cost $1800-2200 for DW/Yammies/Mapex , his price blew those prices away AND im getting it done as a Jarrah shell with AAA Figured Sapelle Pomele as my finish

Well, I can't attest for everythign made in China, but the Sonor Force 3005's are made there, and I think they sound really good. Don't get me wrong, the German made Sonor's are much better, but I don't consider the 3005's low quality at all.

I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, but a **** percussionist should know the difference between bells and xylophone.

Thanks for explaining Lime. The "thingies" underneath the WOODEN bars of a xylophone or marimba are called resonators.

Haha thanks. I try.

I have the 20. It's nice. Uhh yeah ;). Havn't tried the 18. Bought the 20 blind, very dark and washy, makes for a nice ride with a nice bell, wouldn't be my main ride though. Very good choice. It will probably go well wiht your cymbal setup ( which i've seen ). See Zildjian, their fairly accurate with the audio.

I'm no percussionist, I just happen to have a bellset.

I've tried both and the 18 is more versitile but the 20 is still very cool.

[We_Love_Lime]

Go for what you like . or even better yet ! BOTH !

[FL3P]

Yeah that would be nice but I have bought too much stuff lately and I have to take it easy so neither will be joining my kit any time soon.

[We_Love_Lime]

Yeah I understand. I'm currently broke:( But it was worth it. And I would try to learn the different instruments as Billdrum said, even if you arn't a REAL percussionists, as apposed to just a drumset player, it's one of those things you have to know, do.

[FL3P]

That's what I am doing but I wasn't sure of his point. I'm not sure if he thought I was some noob or something.

[We_Love_Lime]

Hah No Worries.

Yes...He's right.

To Threadstarter, PDP is the way to go.
