My budget is under $1000. -Also i was wondering if they still give away that Black Panther snare with the first Mapex kit written above. THANKS! -m0nkey (Sets with more toms and stuff are good too!

It's got a sweet finish and a custom bass drum reso head. -------------------- Moving Pictures, The best album known to man

I just dont want the standard 2 up, 1 down setup The 3 kits r really different u r looking at maple, ash and birch it all depends on what sound u r looking for and the configuration u feel more comfortable with, same goes for hardware, mounting system etc... Im a big fan of Mapex, Dddrum not so much (I heard some yrs ago about shell construction problems) and well Tama is a renown drum company so its all up to u If it was me I'll be btw the Mapex and Tama (full maple kit w mounted toms) or Tama 5 piece (1 rack tom) -------------------- Mapex Saturn Snares: Pearl Omar Hakim Sig.

Or with hardware 699! I have played both the Pro M and the Ddrum they will be nice the Ddrum comes with the nickel hardware like the hyperdrives!! And of course the Pro m's are awsome !!! http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.co...Pack?sku=491351 http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.co...-Set?sku=491345 This post has been edited by dunnigan66: Nov 7 2009, 05:59 PM
