MGR/Anonymous « Mapex Saturn Pro »
Published on 04/11/04 at 15:00Paid: £1029.00, required for upgrade from old pearl Forum kit. Bought from PMT House of drums birmingham.
Excellent!. Arived all boxed (courtesy of jase at PMT!) very securely! Excellent sounding drums, thought would be louder but really no difference from Orion line. Once tuned sound amazing. Walnut does give a slightly deeper tone but they are really outstanding drums for the price. Lacquer shells, mines is twilight stardust. Hardware is all sturdy performing artists 750 series I think (has the ball and socket design). A true classic working drummers kit. It is nice to se a major, smaller company make good drums, it is obvious Mapex care about quality over quantity. Also hats off to Jason at PMT who was just great. Get down there or phone them. A nice non-money grabbing company!
Black panther snare (bought seperately) is a bit hard to tune but apart from that NOTHING!
All shells fully isolated, baering edges complete. Easy to tune and just the usual of a pro kit.
Mapex MARVELLOUS!
