Well I have heard a few bad comments about Mapex but I know they are good. When you say that the kit at your college isn't at all drummer friendly, isn't that because it isn't tuned well and set-up wrong. With new heads and good tuning, wont the kit be just as good as any other kit the next "stage up"?

Has anyone here ever e-mail conaway drums to get a qoute for a drumset before? I e-mailed them on Thursday afternoon and still haven't gotten a response.

It takes about 3 or 4 days,well, thats how long it took for mine

oh ok, thx.

Okay Sonor S-class Pro or Yamaha Absolute Maple?

Yammy?

That's probably something you're going to have to decide for yourself, massik. There are brand inequalities in lower range kits, but when it gets to S-Class and the nouveau maple, it's purely preference and the features of both. The nouveau maple is more of a custom feel, in that you can pick your finishes and such...it's also more expensive. With the sonors, I doubt you'll need 100 finish choices, because all of the finishes are brilliant...especially the grained maple and the aqua green.

DW Maple Custom Drums and DW Edge Snare

Blue Sparkle FinishPly
12x9 Rack Tom
16x13 Floor
22x18 Bass

DW Edge In Natural Finish
14x6



Overall sound: The drums are extremely warm and resonate. The respond well at just about any volume and take any tuning. Tuned low, the toms sound punchy and deep, tuned high the almost sound like they are piercing and sharp. The bass drum sounds good at any tuning, but I find a little bit higher than medium tension is where it sounds the best.

Edge Snare: The edge snare is probably one of the best snares I've used. I really like to tune it high, because you get the crack of the metal. The drum typical sounds like a thick shelled bronze drum thats a little bit warmer than most.

Positives:
Amazing Sound
Easy to tune
Beautiful
Indestructable Finish (I've had drunk guys fall on my drumset at shows before)

Negatives:
Exspensive

Sets I am considering getting:
Mapex M Birch
Tama Superstar SL Custom 4 piece
Tama Superstar EFX 4 piece

WHich one should I lean to?

Mapex.

Me too. I want mapex. I want a nice Pro M kit. Six piece, two mounted toms, and two floor toms.

Yes.

Bump.

Holy hell this thread is old. I forgot I merged my old account with this one and saw a post by me on the first page and freaked out until I realized it was 3 years old. :lol:

Yeah I was like, how did this get to nine pages in like 7 hours lol, and who were all those people at the front. But yeah, probably worth bumping from the looks of it.

i dont really think this was worth a bump and maybe the original post should be edited for 3007s i think they are now?

I wish Sonor Ken would come back...

Yea I was actually under the impression that he was back until I realized this thread was 9 pages long and 3 years old. Ken was cool. He should come back.
