Taye Studio Maple

[Electric Requiem]

Ive found some of these used online and was wondering about their quality.
Are they comparable or better then F3005's or Pro M's?

And Im having a dilemna, the finish isnt what I would choose at all, and Im not sure if this will impact how much I like the drums. Sonor has a couple amazing finishes for the 3005's, and the Indigo Blue Taye Studio Maples just dont compare in terms of finish.

[Mista Bob]

Studio Maples are top of the line kits, definately better than 3005's or Pro M's.

[Electric Requiem]

Ah taye's site is back up now and wow I actually really like the finish. Looks like Im gonna get this kit.

DO IT I LOVE TAYE! that's some GREAT **** right there!!!

taye are very underrated. the owner of Taye, Ray Ayotte, is also owner of the greatest custom company ever, Ayotte...

[Superman]

They better than Saturns?

[Chippy569]

imo, taye are better than starclassic, saturn, yamahas, ludwigs, gretsch.... hell even DW. the only thing i'd take over a taye would be a sonor SQ2...

[Electric Requiem]

Would you take a studio maple over a DW or a Taye Original over the DW?
Chippy your words of praise have sealed the deal, Im gonna try and check it out tonight.

Ooo I love the lugs *swoon*

[drummerdude9574]

thats exactly the kit im saving up for. great quality and not too expensive i sware you should do it its a great deal. very good quality.

[Chippy569]

taye is lesser known because of absent marketting... how many Taye ads you see in that MD? not too many.

i'd take both over a DW.

[ofDooM]

same here. my friend owns a beginner taye and even that kit is nice.

I dont think I see any sort of rubber hinge...
It looks alot like the Iron Cobra actually.

Actually, I do believe Ray Ayotte no longer owns Ayotte.
