I got this new kit back in March but it's taken me a while to finally take some pics.
It's a great kit, and I think there's a lot of value packed into Mapex's Meridian line. I went with birch this time because I wanted something different and Mapex had caught my eye back when they offered the Pro-M and M-Birch lines. Knowing Mapex made some noticeable tweaks and improvements with the Meridian upgrade I figured this was a no-brainer.
Drums: Mapex Meridian Birch in transparent cherry
10x8"
12x9"
14x14"
16x16"
22x18"
14x8" Pro-M Snare w/ die cast hoops and Pearl Ultrasound "D" wires
Heads: Aquarian and Evans
Toms: Aquarian Modern Vintage medium top and bottom
Bass: Evans clear EQ2 batter/EQ1 resonant
Snare: (currently) Aquarian Modern Vintage medium batter/Aquarian Hi-Performance snare or Evans ST Dry/Orchestral 200 snare (pictured)
Cymbals: Dream and Sabian
8" Dream Bliss splash
15" SR2 Thin top/AA Sizzle Hats bottom
15" AAX Studio crash
17" AAX Studio crash
18" HH Thin crash
18" B8Pro Chinese
22" Dream Energy crash/ride
Hardware: Tama, Pacific and Yamaha
