All user reviews of 5/5 for the Mapex M Birch Standard 22"

I am the proud Owner 'of this model since December 2005 in configuration "December 22 13 16". I never jou on this brand before but have cost had the configuration MODEL "fusion" at the store closest to home, as the search for a baterra that "sounds" without artifice or cder MODELS fashion with lots of sustain. I immediately sduit t by its quality and value for money.

Plus: fts birch pais (7.2mm), full sound, and efficient gnreuse (sustain MODR)
The least: snare a bit "fuzzy"

I have several possd MODELS drumkit (medium and high end), from DIFFERENT manufacturers (the European and Asian) and diffrent wood species. MODEL REPRESENTATIVES this an excellent compromise in today's market, in terms of sound. The current trend is to thin and rsons fts. Paralllement, the sound engineers Bumble us or we "gate" more and more while paralllement new matte skin have been proposed. This is the dog that bites its own tail! So there in the minds (and ears) a "standard" drum sound that it seems difficult to escape completely, at least among amateur and semi-pro. The MODEL Submitted the advantage of providing a means of tuning one's pretty easy enough mat that will allow you to easily mix insrer for those sonoriss, and without forcing you to hear for those who play in a more "acoustic".

The ratio quality price is final. To have fts birch, feed must be at least 30 dbourser 50% increase among other manufacturers, in which you may find it be a best finish of hardware it is true. Although adequate and beautifully chrome fittings plutt is part of the entry level. Its reliability will be vrifier time. The snare is not the height of other fts in terms of sound but rare are the snare of origin that make the case that tariff.

So I'm satisfied and delighted with this product and my entourage (drum teacher, lves, musicians ...). This kit allows you to access a sound typical "high end", a bass drum irrprochable, through the artifices of mid-range ECONOMIC If you are not too picky and perfectionist (hardware, circles stamped, limited choice of colors etc. ..).

The rponse is satisfactory with the skins of origin (manufacturer amricain, single ply transparent, sand on the snare), but also MRIT investment in a game of your skin prfr es (single or double fold, sand or not). The tuning is easy (few bolts on GC, TB and DC) and the quintessence of birch will be more Submitted you take the time to a careful tuning, especially the skin of rsonnace. By following the "RULES" interval between the fts, you will easily sound gnreux, open, provided a good trs attack with little or no sympathy for rsonnace fts them which is a guarantee of good quality wood even if it is not the first choice. In a room tempra keeping the agreement of fts is also good trs. Depending on the skins and tuning, these fts fill most of the drummers who are looking to find a drum sound dynamic, friendly and efficient, with more or less sustain and / or attack depending on the go ts of each. The MODEL is perfect all styles, except may be o the jazz tradition is sought warmer tones (SLAR) and open (a lot of sustain, Reduces attack).

I have invested in a model 10/12/13/16/22 (offer tom 10 ") after a first approach in a store or it was presented in an auditorium (it sounds tjs recess ...) there are already 2 months.
oh surprise when I have brought and installed in a basement of repeats!
It sounded even better ...
Birch was the price, and the level of accessories makes a great deal, when we can not afford to put money mirobolesques nothing in barrels ...
Even the snare is well made, it slams hard.
I think obviously invest in skin - (the plastic on the attack), but from the outset we can realize the potential, serious deep, powerful on the big bass drum and toms, sustain control over the rest excellent!

Notice for those who prefer to invest in a set with + good cymbals in a set of 3 toms for 2000 euros ... this model is for you!

J have this drumkit for 2 years and a half and I spend my time changing my investment and whenever d in'm happy. 10 12 13 16 22 14 is very good at classical training to do decent on the toms, the CG 22 is really good with a well rounded, even during a concert on a day I hallucinated in Tama starclasic 18 18 drill that was more present (but kan be to not have the budget we are not right ^ ^) j I've put the 10-tom super stretched the limits for a djembe, it makes the wood very well and sounds like it is on the rim shots.

For defects I will say that the skin of its origin is not very good it very plastic Sonen I would advise a Remo CS for a DC Super kick 2 for the GC (even though it is expensive you will not regret it) and pinstrap for toms.
I also find that the foot of a CC can Légé because I kan Frape the CC back to me (but hey I Frape really hard), I have managed to twist the hoop as the origin of CC, and I i by a change Cast a circle and it sounds even better.

Level quality / price I think it's more than correct, over time I think I shall have that choice again.

Very important there as on the feet of cymbal and the hi-hat and feet of the CC ring memory really is not negligible when disassembled from the concert, do it ...
