Mapex Voyager 2010 - "Nice cheap set, for someone on a budget or a young child"

DW Drums Performance - "Amazing sound and very affordable!"
DW and affordable don’t usually fit in the same sentence. However, I am a fan of usage before labelling, and thus, I took home an “affordable DW snare.” It features a renewable wood source of north…

I've played a ton of cymbals over many years especially a lot of hi hat pairs. These are the best ones I've played hands down. It's hard to explain how great these hi hats are without just being able…
