mapex Pro M would be a great choice

but arent they like WAY over 700CDN? i forgot to say i needed some hats as well

well isnt that orion (the birdseye one) just a Pro M with a better finish? I from Uk so US and Canadian currency confuses me.

I suggest saving up more or going second hand.[/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=Agave]Sick-O, I would go for a tama stagestar. If you can afford it, a swingstar. Durability is something tama is seriosuly known for, much better than pearl[/QUOTE]

Kool thanks guys...good lookin' out! :thumb:

I've decided to sell my Swingstar to replace it with a Pearl Sessions Series Maple drum (SMX). Anyone who owns the set and has a review of it, do post it.

You do realize thats one big *** step, right? Even if you do sell that swingstar, youre only gonna get about $250 for it, and a shell pack for a sessions is atleast $700.

Big jump, but id go for it.

id also like to know what people think of the pearl sessions,

Um, yes I am far more than aware that it is a big step. I currently also own a tama starclassic, but this is for my other house (between Hong Kong and the UK). I needed another good kit there now, because my band has now started performing decent gigs, and the swingstar obviously wasn't up to it. Any useful comments would be appreciated

im also looking into a pearl session but i want the birch so if anyone has anything on the birch please post it for me.

I currently have a pearl forum and i have been playing for around a year and 4 months now. I'm thinking about a Mapex Pro M or a Sonor 3003 as all i hear is good things about them (although I do not know which 1 I would go for as of yet). Would the jump from a Forum to one of the 2 stated above be a significant change that would it be worth it? and also is the Pacific Cx in the same league as the mapax and the sonor?
Thanks for any help.

i think that those stage customs rule. idont own a set but i use them from my church every wednesday for the shows we put on

Go for the pro M, its a great sounding kit.

The Pro M is a fantastic kit, worth every cent. :D

has anyone had the sonor 503?

503?
Well if the 1003 is bad then the 503 must be cardboard boxes.

so if u had to choose between tama stagestar, sonor503,pearl target, and yamaha rydeen which one would be the best in terms of durability, stable hardware and sound quality?

yamaha rydeen

I am thinking of buying a Mapex Q5244 is this a good beginer set?

wat series are they? i dont kno wat mapex ur talking about

Swingstar all the way. I love mine, it sounds absolutley great (Tama Resonant heads, Remo Pinstripe Batter Heads.) It's worth every penny, a great entry and even mid-level set. I don't plan on upgrading for a while, maybe in a year, but if this kit still sounds this good I doubt it. :thumb:

Yamaha Rydeen, hands down.

i do not know what series they are but i can post a picture of them

The Q IS a Mapex beginner kit, I believe it's a step below the V or the VX Plasma.

If you want cheap, go V.

i think i meant stagestar . lol

[QUOTE=J0llyhunter]i think i meant stagestar . lol[/QUOTE]
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah.
I ment that. :lol: How about..

If you can afford it get a Swingstar! If not, any Tama drumset is good. Stagestar included. :thumb:

I have some Mapex V-series drums, they are a nice kit for the cash.

so stagestar > rydeen? :confused:

Hey guys. At the moment i've got one of those entry level Enforcer kits, the kind you get on ebay for 300 bucks. So I'm looking to go a few steps up in the world of drumkits. I'm looking for a set in the range of 700-100, like the tama rockstar custom. I was wondering who makes the best kit of this caliber, out of all the major brands. Thanks.

hmmm. u gotta test out all of the drums urself and see who u like best, the top ones out there are tama, yamaha, pearl, dw, mapex and sonor.. etc. there isn't really one top one, ppl have different tastes in drums
