Hey! Does anybody know ( or care :) ) WHY Mapex dropped its "Pro M" series drum line after about a year and a half or so?? I've got a 4 piece kit-maple shells---and that thing ROCKS. Best kit I ever played---and they trash it--- just wondering guys!
 
I believe that a recent DRUM! magazine stated in a review of a new and more affordable M kit that the Pro M was discontinued for economic reasons.

Also, the M drum set is much more improved so it basically is a Pro M as stated in the review.
 
They simply updated the lines simultaneously, such that Meridian offered a birch and maple kit. The M and Pro-M's were subsequently not needed anymore.

It doesnt make your Pro-M any less of a kit though!
 
Yep, as far as I know they Meridian line is the Pro M just under a different moniker and has undergone a slight refresh.

A bit like when Ford got rid of the Orion name and called them Escorts instead.
