Hi, its been less than one month that I have my Mapex Pro M series and I think what is really great, it supports a tom ball, the barrels are pierced at least as little as possible and the drumkit has 7 folds Saddle in which a basswood for the outside but does not change the sound. It's the best drumkit ment than can be found on the walk. That the quality is not found is less 2000 euros for a Mapex.
